It's summertime, and that means it's vacation season for many people. While regular nurses take time off, hospitals need to make sure they have enough staff to take care of patients. That's where travel nurses like you come in! It's time for you to plan your workcation, where you can work and have fun at the same time. Here are some fantastic destinations you should consider:
