Enjoying the Sunny Weather in San Francisco!
“I’m a pediatric RN at Lucille Packard Children’s Hospital. I just finished up my first travel assignment with Access Nurses in Palo Alto, California. My fiance and I took a drive up to the Golden Gate Bridge in our first week up in the Bay Area. The day was gorgeous, as we are from Wisconsin. This particular October sunny afternoon introduced us to the architecture of the Golden Gate Bridge. Very fascinating! The view from the bridge was breathtaking! This photo was taken in a small park by the coastline just south of the famous bridge.” ~ Kelly L., RN

“I’m currently on assignment in Santa Maria, California at the Marion Extended Care Center. My travel nurse assignment is all about location! I’ve seen everything from beaches and piers to wineries and lighthouses! This picture was taken along the California Coast on Highway 1 between Monterey and Pismo Beach. Traveling the highway is so beautiful because at every turn there is a new and different sight to see.” ~ Bill W., RN
