You must not be familiar with travel nurses. They go from job to
job
as temps. Here in California many hospitals rely on travel nurses
for a significant portion of their staffing.

The one I occasionally lie on top of hasn't heard of those either.


Your ignorance in no way negates reality. Weekenders are another way to get
a stack of bucks with little family disturbance. They work the ED mostly
around here, where the 16/8/16 or variations thereof fill the void and the
pocketbook while not violating overtime rules, since they're personal
contractors.

Home health nurses sometimes _need_ SUVs to get where they're going. They
bill on a contact and travel basis.
