Asking what a day in a life of a traveling nurse is like, is similar to asking how long a piece of string is! It's a hard enough question to ask for any nurse, let alone of you add traveling into the mix. Of course for a lot of people who go into travel nursing, that's exactly the point! They like the adventure of not knowing what they'll be doing or where they'll be, it keeps them from going stale.
A travel nurse could have a fairly quiet time doing admin work, or working with convalescents, or they may be in the hectic environment of emergency wards.
Naturally those are extremes, and a travel nurse won't end up in either by chance - at the end of the day it is the nurse's job to pick the next assignment, and if they have a good agency, they'll get offered what they asked for by and large. The job could be in any part of the country or around the world, so the working day may be shifted according to time zones! If you're on a cruise ship, (remember no cruise ship can leave port without medical provision), you may have to constantly change time zones!
It is really exciting to be a traveling nurse and an EN nurse at the same time =)
