Travel nurses serve a need, like if another nurse gets injured or has a child, and they will need to be temporarily replaced.

Shouldn't travel positions exist for every other profession?

The reason why it's expected for nursing in particular is the indicator that something here is very wrong.

It’s an indicator for very small room for error when it comes to utilization.

There are more stressful and dangerous careers that do not have travel positions as a norm.

I was referring to utilization level of workers, not stress or danger. If resources are planned too tightly, slight alterations can cause disruptions, so you might need additional workers.
