Registered Nurse - LTC

Small Town Heart. Big City Soul!
The Community - Palo Alto, California
Mingle with some of the world's sharpest minds while exploring unexpected delights in this sunny Silicon Valley city, Palo Alto! Exclusivity is part of Palo Alto's allure. Stanford University accepts fewer than 5 percent of its applicants, and hiring rates for nearby tech giants Google and Facebook are estimated to be under 0.2 percent. But for visitors, the opposite is true. Anyone can visit Palo Alto - located conveniently close to both San Francisco and San Jose - and feel welcomed by the sunny climate, rich culture, and fascinating innovation - no application necessary. While here, be sure to explore University Avenue and downtown, stretching between the Stanford Campus and U.S. 101. University Avenue cuts right through downtown, so you're able to enjoy Palo Alto's nearly perfect climate easily with a stroll down the street, popping into shops like the historic Mills Florist or Books Inc. or stopping for a cone at Scoop Microcreamery.
