Is there a difference between nonresident and nonresident during all of the year?

According to the Maine Revenue FAQ, you are a non-resident for the entire year.

It depends on the state. Some states consider residency depending on the number of days you spend in the state. A nonresident, in general, is someone who does not reside in the state at all, and resides in a different state.

Thank you @ColeenD3. I am just not sure if there’s a difference between nonresident and nonresident during the whole year, if I was only for about a month in a state and working what am I: a nonresident or a nonresident during the whole year or is it just the same thing?

To clarify your situation, in what state were you working for a month as a nonresident?

@PattiF , In Maine, am I a nonresident during all of the year if I was only for a month?

Thank you @PattiF , much appreciate taking the time to answer! 
Just the fact that I was only a month but they consider me nonresident for the whole year it’s a little confusing. I thought yes I’m nonresident but not during the whole year.
