Massachusetts
If you prefer a northeastern area of the country, consider shipping up to Boston! Massachusetts is a great state for Travel Nurses because of its many state-of-the-art, high-ranking facilities. Did you know this state is home to around 100 hospitals, 9 of which are highly ranked? Freedom has offered positions at one of these hospitals located in Brighton, just minutes away from Boston! Additionally, this is a state full of adventure waiting to be had. Whether exploring the immersive city of Boston or relaxing in the quaint town of Rockport — from mountains to shoreline — you’ll certainly enjoy yourself in this historic state.
Washington
Washington state is a great place to be no matter what time of the year it is! Home to two vast mountain ranges, the Cascades and Olympic, outdoor enthusiasts are sure to enjoy this state. For those who prefer urban areas, you can still see Mount Rainier from Washington’s biggest city, Seattle. This is a city full of sights to see, including the Space Needle and Pike Place Market.
Freedom has offered multiple travel assignments throughout the city of Seattle! If you’d like to get out of the city for a bit, you can catch a ferry over to some of the nearby towns such as Bainbridge Island or Whidbey Island. With more than 3,000 glaciers, Washington is also the most glaciated state in the U.S. There are activities to do and sights to see no matter where you go, and that’s what’s so exciting about being a traveling medical professional. It’s important to have fun exploring what your city has to offer during your assignment and bask in the knowledge that you’re doing important work while getting to see pockets of the United States you wouldn’t otherwise.
