The climatic, cultural and general lifestyle diversity offered by the various regions of the state make California the perfect option for nearly anyone. If California is at the top of your list of travel nursing destinations, your timing couldn’t be better. Recent laws governing nurse to patient ratios have been modified, creating a colossal amount of available nursing jobs. Hospitals and facilities across the state have been forced to close beds, rendering facilities unable to accept new patients and transfers from other hospitals. In fact, the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that by the year 2010, California will face a shortage of nearly 110,000 nurses statewide. Skilled nurses are in high demand, and we offer the nation’s best paying travel nursing jobs! If you’re ready to experience the endless possibilities firsthand, apply now for one of our California travel nursing positions!
California is the third largest state in the nation, but boasts a higher population than any other state at 33.8 million residents. Californians enjoy a very good economy, due in large part to both agriculture and entertainment industry. Hollywood California, the nation’s metonym for entertainment and celebrities, finds its home in California’s very own City of Angels, Los Angeles.
Despite California’s exploding population, privacy and seclusion can still be found in the northern region of the state. Redwood forests and snow-dusted mountains interrupt the skyline in virtually every direction from northern California’s inland region. Spectacular scenery is abundant in both the mountainous regions and on the northern shoreline.
For the traveling nurses who are avid skiers or mountain resort enthusiasts, Lake Tahoe provides complete rapture. Visitors from across the country flock to the area for its excellent ski and other winter sports resorts. Located amidst the mountains of the Sierra Nevada range, the Lake Tahoe area features numerous ski resorts and lodges, as well as public and private sled parks. Other sports include snow tubing and snowmobile riding.
In the summer months, water sports and beach activities maintain Lake Tahoe’s popularity. Boating events such as sailboat racing dominate the lake’s summer sports. Hiking and biking are also popular choices, with hundreds of trails for visitors to choose from.
In sharp contrast to the thinner population density of northern California, southern California is home to over 24 million of the state’s 33+ million people. Redwood forests fade away and are replaced with towering palm trees. The weather in southern California is much warmer than in the northern parts, maintaining an average high temperature of 84 degrees (F) midsummer and an average low of 64 degrees (F).
Drastically dissimilar to northern California’s snow-capped mountains and ski resorts, Southern California is home to Death Valley, the hottest and driest region in California. Death Valley is also the largest national park in the contiguous United States, spanning over three million acres. Home to many rare forms of desert life, Death Valley National Park is bursting with desert flowers, magnificent mountain views, and pristine sand dunes. Hiking, camping and vehicle tours are permitted throughout the park. Lodging is available via various hotels and the Panamint Springs Resort. Be sure to bring a camera because you’ll want to share the amazing experiences you have while working California travel nursing jobs with your friends and family!
If the thought of desert sight-seeing leaves you feeling parched, spend an afternoon on one of southern California’s numerous beaches. Santa Monica Beach, Manhattan Beach and Laguna Beach are some of California’s most beautiful and most popular beaches. For an incredible snorkeling adventure, visit the sheltered coves of La Jolla, offering some of the San Diego area’s ritziest homes and boutiques. For a less invasive sea adventure, visit the Birch Aquarium at the Scripps Institute of Oceanography, located very near the cove. La Jolla features other attractions and is close to the attractions of San Diego, such as the #1 rated San Diego Zoo.
