Explore Palo Alto, CA
California‘s hospital communities range from major academic medical districts to regional centers serving the Central Valley. Los Angeles and San Francisco combine teaching hospitals with community hospitals; inland, Fresno provides care for a broad agricultural region. A travel nurse’s everyday surroundings can change considerably between these areas. Los Angeles spreads across distinct neighborhoods with food and music from around the world. San Francisco fits its waterfront streets and commercial districts onto a compact peninsula, where a ferry ride makes the bay part of an afternoon out. Fresno offers another kind of city life: its Tower District has live music and film screenings in a historic theater, with the valley’s farming towns beyond the city.
