A part-time travel nurse takes temporary nursing assignments at different medical facilities. Your duties can vary depending on where you get assigned. You work as a normal member of the medical staff at a hospital, clinic, or another healthcare facility. You can provide medical services to patients or handle other nursing responsibilities, such as recording information on patients' medical charts and coordinating care with other staff members. Some part-time travel nurses work as replacements for regular staff members or during times when the healthcare facility is especially busy. Other travel nurses go to different locations to provide specialized services.
