The lawyer refers to them as “hired guns”:

“These are guys who travel — some of them travel the country — and they fill in where hospitals are in need of staffing,” he said. “Nurses do it, too…. I like to refer to it as riding the circuit. They’re hired guns. They go into an area that’s short of a specific specialty or need, and they fill that need.”
