Spring is generally chock-full of two things: Tulips and possibilities! You made it through another winter season and now you’re itching to shake of the dust and doldrums, hit the road, and find a new scene for spring. Maybe you’re a seasoned, veteran Travel Nurse, or maybe it’s your first time to spin the ol’ compass and go — either way, it’s high time to take a deep breath of the fresh spring air and get ready to choose your own adventure.
Read on if you’re ready to spring into a new Travel Nurse job in one of these top spring locations!
California
The Golden State is perhaps THE number one Travel Nurse destination — and for good reason. Strict nurse to patient ratio rules and high populations mean that Travel Nursing jobs are always plentiful here! I probably don’t need to tell you about all of the state’s beautiful beaches, majestic trees, amazing attractions, or its perfect climate. And you’re likely already aware of California’s world-class shopping and dining, fresh produce, and bountiful wine … but just in case, check out our State Spotlight on California.

Georgia
Springtime in Georgia is peachy keen and then some! Georgia is the birthplace of Coca-Cola and Lay’s Potato Chips, and home to more peaches, pecans, peanuts, and Vidalia onions than you can shake a stick at. If you’re still not hungry for Georgia, consider its reputation for hospitality and affordable living, wealth of interesting historical sites, and exciting attractions like Stone Mountain, the Georgia Aquarium, the Savannah Historic District, and the College Football Hall of Fame. Whether you prefer a small town like the offbeat Bavarian hamlet of Helen or exciting cities like haunted Savannah or Hotlanta, spring is a great time to hop that midnight train to Georgia.

Illinois
I’m not sure if you heard, but Chicago Cubs fans had a pretty sweet time of it in 2016 and the word on the street is they are still celebrating! If you love a lively celebration, that’s just one reason why now is the perfect time to visit The Land of Lincoln for a spring Travel Nurse assignment. Chicago blends Midwestern friendliness with big-city appeal. The city’s a nonstop playground with its Magnificent Mile, iconic Field Museum of Natural History, Willis Tower, and so much more. The shopping, pro sports, cultural activities, and great Great Lake views are just the tip of the iceberg. From deep dish pizza and street vendor Chicago dogs to some of the finest high-brow cuisine in the nation, Illinois offers plenty to sink your teeth into.

New Jersey
The Garden State is so much more than Zach Braff and Snooki would lead you to believe! New Jersey is perfectly situated for exploring the East Coast in general, especially considering that it is just minutes away from two of the nation’s top cities: Manhattan on the east and Philadelphia on the west. Not to mention the iconic Atlantic City Boardwalk and boisterous Jersey Shore lie within its borders. It’s also home to one of the best American accents and is known as the Diner Capital of the World! There’s truly no better place to crank some Bruce Springsteen and be a total BOSS at Travel Nursing.

Missouri
The Show-Me State is full of diverse experiences just ripe for the spring picking! From spelunking (seriously, Missouri has 600+ caves!) to high-end shopping in urban havens like Kansas City and St. Louis, there’s a lot of variety here when it comes to to-dos. Get kitschy in Branson, marvel at the Gateway Arch or get weird at the City Museum in St. Louis, sail away on the Lake of the Ozarks, and pay tribute to Twain in Hannibal. If you’re near KC, make time for some jazz, barbecue (I recommend Joe’s!), and a trip to the stunning Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art.

Florida
Orange you glad Travel Nursing gives you the opportunity to visit Florida?! The Sunshine State is an amazing destination for Travel Nurses — with the state’s large population of seniors, there’s a consistent need for increased staffing which means great opportunities for Travelers. The fact that it’s a gorgeous, beachy paradise absolutely brimming with nature’s beauty and urban excitement helps too! Iconic experiences abound — from Epcot to the Everglades, The Magic Kingdom to the Islands of Adventure, and Kennedy Space Center to the Florida Keys. Cuban sandwiches, Key lime pie, fresh tropical fruit, and the absolute best stone crabs are just a few more reasons why Florida is such a tasty destination.

New York
Folks immediately think of The Big Apple when considering jobs in New York. That’s because New York City is an amazing city to experience as a local without ever getting burnt out on the day-to-day city grind. While NYC is one of the best cities in the world, with its endless culture, cuisine, and sightseeing, don’t forget the beautiful upstate region!
