As an RN you can become a travelling nurse that fills positions across the country on a short-term basis.
Some of my friends have used this job as a way to see the country.

There are many opportunities to travel, especially in the age of a global pandemic. Before the pandemic, there were plenty of options, as well. Almost every long-term care facility in my area used traveling or contract nurses well before covid. I believe post-covid, there will still be many opportunities due to nurses leaving the bedside.
I recommend that you wait for several years post-graduation until you have all your skills mastered because travel nurses are expected to jump right into most situations with minimal training. I hope this helps.
