Florida
A travel nursing assignment in Florida is more than just a job, it is a chance to enjoy fabulous beaches, great weather, theme parks, big cities, small towns and cultural diversity.
Florida's Northwest Region
Northwest Florida stretches from the historic city of Pensacola on the state's western border, east to Apalachicola. With miles of undeveloped natural beaches, quiet fishing villages and quaint historic districts, this is a great location to work in a relaxing environment.
Florida’s North Central Region
The North Central Region consists of 16 counties and extends from Gadsden and Wakulla Counties in the west to Alachua County in the east. The group consists of "The Original Florida and "The Nature Coast." It is here where you will find Florida’s capital city – Tallahassee. Southern charm and hospitality greet visitors to this region. Tourism activities center on the rich history of the area and the vast wilderness, which is an excellent backdrop for outdoor activities.
Florida’s Northeast Region
Northeast Florida, known as "Florida’s First Coast," combines America’s oldest European settlement with one of the nation’s leading modern seaports, with a collection of small up-and-coming towns adding to the local color and natural beauty. Encompassing Atlantic beaches as far south as Flagler County and inland rural communities west to Palatka, the region offers travelers timeless adventures through mysterious 17th-century forts, vast prairie lands and wide beaches lined with sand dunes.
Florida’s Central Region
Central Florida reaches from the oak-lined horse farms of Marion County, across one the top tourist destinations in the world — Orlando — to the fragrant orange groves of Polk County. Home to some great theme parks, as well as the largest sand pine forest in the world, Central Florida is a thrilling combination of modern man-made attractions and centuries-old natural beauty.
Florida’s Central West Region
Encompassing the southern portion of Florida’s Nature Coast, as well as the popular vacation destinations of Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater and Sarasota, the Central West region of Florida offers a vast array of cultural, historical, natural and recreational riches along gem-colored waters and sun-drenched beaches.
Florida's Central East Region
Central East Florida makes a roaring start at the Birthplace of Speed, blasts through the Space Coast and quietly ends amid the buried gold and famous oranges of the Treasure Coast. From horseless carriages to speedy racers, and from sunken Spanish galleons to rocketing space ships, the Central East region blends the glory of Florida’s yesteryears with the triumphs of her tomorrows.
Florida’s Southwest Region
With unspoiled alabaster beaches, exotic wildlife and lush subtropical foliage, southwest Florida - comprised of Charlotte, Lee, Collier, Hendry and Glades counties -- combines the sophistication of a pampered island resort with the relaxed style of Old Florida. From the Ten Thousand Islands that lie in tranquil azure waters off its coast, to the vast wilderness preserves that claim its southern reaches, Southwest Florida luxuriously rolls out the welcome mat, beckoning visitors to enjoy idyllic beach getaways and captivating backcountry adventures.
Florida's Southeast Region
The chic elegance of Palm Beach and the pulsating rhythms of Miami’s South Beach are more than enough to keep most travelers entertained. Add in the grassy vastness of the Everglades and the coral majesty of the Florida Keys, and the result is a miracle of diversity and a travel assignment unlike any other — this is Southeast Florida.
