If you\u2019ve read any of our blogs or taken a few minutes to peruse the thousands of awesome assignments we have to offer, you\u2019d know that travel nursing allows you to work <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelnursesource.com\/travel-nursing-jobs\">literally anywhere in the country<\/a>. With that being said, we know that you\u2019ve got your favorites. I mean, who wouldn\u2019t want to work in sunny locations like Hawaii or California.

You\u2019re in luck! Virginia has not just one, but TWO beaches where wild horses roam.<\/p>\n<h3>Washington<\/h3>\n<p>We\u2019re not saying every travel nurse is a hipster, but if you\u2019re looking for a place to settle down, drink coffee, and listen to indie music, Washington might be the place for you.<\/p>\n<h3>West Virginia<\/h3>\n<p>Mountains don\u2019t need to be covered in snow for you to enjoy them.
