California

From the north to the south, California is all about well being. Cities like San Francisco are very walker/biker-friendly—from cruising through the many parks, to just strolling from one neighborhood to the next. Thank Hollywood for having its health-crazed influence on Southern California cities. Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego have wonderfully eclectic cuisine options, all of which can be catered to your dietary needs. Plus, some of the most world-renowned yoga and fitness studios are located here.

Access Nurses RNs’ favorite activities in California…
1. Kayak with a friend in the La Jolla shores.
2. Hike to the top of Half Dome, then camp under the stars in Yosemite.
3. Surf some monster waves in Huntington Beach.

Colorado

No need to hit the gym in Colorado; just look outside. With gorgeous landscapes and majestic purple mountains, the natural surroundings in Colorado are begging for you to take a bike ride, hike a mountain trail or jog along a babbling brook. Exercising in Mother Nature’s world will rejuvenate your mind, as well as work your body. And all that beautiful sunshine in the summer months will beckon you away from the couch and remote control after a long shift.

Access Nurses RNs’ favorite activities in Colorado…
1. Tee up for a round of golf on one of the state’s top courses.
2. Get a group together to whitewater raft down the Arkansas River.
3. Rock climb up Lumpy Ridge in Rocky Mountain National Park.

New England

The New England region – Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut – all rank among the healthiest states in the country. Everything from exercise habits and health-conscious diets to low pollution help put New England on top. You’re bound to feel more at peace after working in the often-stressful hospital setting when you travel here. And a healthy state of mind is the foundation of an all-around healthy lifestyle.

Access Nurses RNs’ favorite activities in New England…
1. Take a walking tour of Boston’s historical sights and landmarks.
2. Explore the old-fashioned lighthouses along the shores in Maine.
3. Hike the rocky bluffs of Mount Independence in Vermont.

First Time ER Traveler

I am an ER nurse and work in Florida. My wife and I are wanting to do some traveling. I have a couple of questions:

1. We want to make money, that is the main reason we want to travel. Where are the best places to travel to to make the most money?
2. What were the working conditions?
3. Will most places you work let you pick up overtime?

Thanks in advance for any advice or information, this will be our first time traveling and Im pretty nervous to be leaving my home town.
