As a new season arrives, it’s out with the old and in with the new – new travel nurses! Whether you are an experienced traveler or going on your first adventure, the start of a season is the perfect time to relocate. Healthcare organizations often turn to travel nurses when planning for seasonal changes.
We know swapping locations can be tricky – so to help you decide, we have compiled a list of cities that are great for travel nurses to be stationed when spring rolls around!
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Are you a history enthusiast? Then Philadelphia’s famous museums and historical sites offer an exciting next journey for you. There are many locations and artifacts from the early days of the US, like the Liberty Bell, the Museum of the American Revolution, and even the house where the first American flag was sewn! After your work shift you can stroll around in one of the many beautiful public gardens and art museums, or visit the iconic Old City. You’ll be spoiled for choices when it comes to shopping, dining, and nightlife.
Washington D.C.
Consider yourself lucky if you get stationed in D.C. during the spring season! Washington D.C. has a fantastic cherry blossom festival lasting from mid-March to mid-April. The whole city celebrates the event and there are numerous activities to partake in surrounding the festival. Don’t forget to bring your walking shoes as most of the tourist attractions are within walking distance. See the White House up close, visit any of the 19 Smithsonian museums, and mingle in the city filled with energetic young professionals!
Los Angeles and San Diego, California
If you’re assigned a nurse station in California, you will never run out of activities to do and sights to see. From beaches and mountain hikes to shopping and dining, southern California has just about anything a tourist could dream of. On the more professional side, nurses enjoy many liberties in this state. The number of patients assigned to a nurse is carefully caped and there are strict regulations when it comes to giving nurses meals and rest breaks.
Denver, Colorado
If you love the outdoors, Denver is the place for you. At the edge of the city, you’ll find the natural wonder of Red Rocks Park. Here you can go for hikes to see the flowers blossom in the spring and experience concerts in the Amphitheatre – a magnificent theatre that is built into the mountain! Denver City has plenty for you to do as well. Have a walk through the old Larimer Square with restaurants and boutiques, and shop in the vintage streets of LoDo neighborhood.
New Orleans, Louisiana
With its warm weather and unique culture, New Orleans guarantees a fun time for anyone visiting. Louisiana is an inviting city with a lively atmosphere, funky music, and delicious food. Being the jazz capital of the world, it boasts a huge celebration known as New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, where famous jazz performers from around the country come to showcase their talent.
