While just about everyone knows Virginia’s famous slogan, “Virginia is for Lovers”, you might not know just how great Virginia is for healthcare workers. Whether you’re seeking thrills, history, culture, or the outdoors, this NLC (Nurse Compact Licensure) state has plenty to offer in fun and work!
We know that travel nurses and CNAs love to travel and see the world, which is great news for Virginia, because it is home to Busch Gardens. With one stop in Williamsburg, VA, visitors can experience the culture of six different countries and get a taste for their unique cuisines. The park boasts thrill seeking coasters and rides, the world’s largest waterpark, and has been voted “The Most Beautiful Theme Park” for the last 30 years running.
There are few other states to visit if you love history, and particularly, American history. As one of the original 13 colonies, Virginia is home to several historical sites, including George Washington’s home. Visitors are welcome to tour the home, gardens, and estate at their leisure. No matter where you are in the state, you won’t be far from seeing many historical sites that have played a critical role in the development of the United States we know today.
It’s no wonder that out of Virginia’s widely diverse population and history, art has become a way of life for many. In fact, art and culture is so wide spread, that particular cultural “hot spots” are deemed part of the Artisan Trail Network. In nearly every corner of the state, museums, crafts, galleries, historical re-enactments, fine dining, and wineries are easily accessible.
If you’re in need of some relaxation after a busy week working in healthcare, Virginia has that covered too. State parks and national parks can be found in all parts of the state and offer relaxing cabin getaways, serene mountainous views, and plenty of quiet trails and activities that will leave any healthcare worker ready to start anew. If that wasn’t enough, visitors are able to venture out to any one of Virginia’s numerous beaches, salt and fresh water alike, to soak in some sun and refresh for a new start.
If you’ve been looking for a healthcare job that offers fun, relaxation, and great opportunities through your work, Virginia truly is the place. Fall in love all over again with traveling and healthcare, and visit the LeaderStat Job Board to find the perfect job opportunity that’s waiting for you!
