Travel Nurse City to See: Tacoma, Washington
Tacoma, Washington has blossomed into a city that travel nurses will truly enjoy. Combining vintage charm with modern attraction, Tacoma has new restaurants, coffee shops and boutiques opening up in some of the oldest preserved Victorian buildings in Washington. Fall in love with Antique and Museum Row where you can explore places like the Museum of Glass and King’s Row Antiques. Catch a local play in the Theater District on Opera Alley. And if outdoor adventure is more fitting to your travel nursing lifestyle enjoy the surrounding nature trails at Point Defiance, Tacoma’s largest park.

Costs of RV and RV parks
"I was wondering if anyone has tried the RV lifestyle and how much do RV parks run? What would an RV cost me? Just trying to figure out all my options. I'm going traveling with my 10yr old and my mom's offered to come along to help me 4 a year."

Quote of the week
Adventure is a path. Real adventure - self-determined, self-motivated, often risky - forces you to have firsthand encounters with the world. The world the way it is, not the way you imagine it. -Mark Jenkins
