Explore Santa Cruz, CA

On the northern edge of Monterey Bay, Santa Cruz, CA makes a coastal base for travel nurses, with assignments spread across the city and the towns just inland. Emergency departments and medical-surgical units carry much of the local caseload, with community hospitals serving a year-round population that swells in summer. Capitola, Soquel, and Watsonville sit a few minutes down the coast or into the valley for added contract options. Many travelers commute over Highway 17 to reach larger Silicon Valley campuses, a winding drive better tackled outside peak hours. Housing here runs tight near the water, so renting a few miles inland often makes a contract here far more affordable, a tradeoff many travelers accept for the coast.
