Freedom and Flexibility in the City of Brotherly Love

Travel nursing salutes America’s birthplace

Philadelphia, one of America’s oldest and most historically significant cities was dubbed by Quaker, William Penn (1644-1718) in 1681 as the City of Brotherly Love. It is home to Independence Hall where the U.S. Constitution was drafted and signed, and where hangs The Liberty Bell, adopted by abolitionists as a symbol of freedom and the end to slavery. Now the fifth most populous city in the U.S., Philadelphia was once the nation’s capitol from 1790 to 1800. 

Travel nursing opportunities in and around Philadelphia have never been better with travel nurse jobs and physical therapist jobs plentiful and high-paying. The city’s recent focus on parks and recreation is revitalized with “GreenPlan Philadelphia” and its downtown area is full of great restaurants, museums, art galleries, and entertainment venues.

Philadelphia Travel Nursing

PA Travel Nursing

Sports fans love the 76ers and the Eagles, and most greasy spoon fanatics are intimate with the legendary Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich. Other gastronomic inventions created by city dwellers include the hoagie, soft pretzels, and ‘scrapple’ made famous by the Pennsylvania Dutch. Big city travel nursing is at home here, as a hot cup of coffee, hearty sandwiches, and thin-slice pizza can be found on both sides of the street day or night.

Root Vegetables Good for Travel Nurse Health

Build stamina - reduce stress – boost the immune system

Travel Nurse HealthOne tasty and simple way for travel nurses to build stamina and reduce everyday stress is to eat more root vegetables: Carrots, Beets, and Parsnips for beta-carotene, folic acid, and iron; Rutabagas, Turnips, and Yams rich in vitamin A and C, minerals, and potassium. Root vegetables are high in antioxidants, low in calories (roughly 10 to 60 per half cup), and are a good source of everyday fiber. As part of a balanced diet, root vegetables contribute to organ health, are good for the hair, skin, and eyes, and have been hailed for years by nutritionists as “brain food.”

Healthy snacks quick and easy for the travel nurse

Most root vegetables cook up nice in the microwave. They’re best cooked at low heat and covered to maintain high nutritional value, texture, and flavor. Roots are done when a fork can path through easily without crumbling. All are wonderfully served with a touch of honey, butter or wine, fresh herbs, salt and pepper or favorite seasoning. They make great mid-shift travel nurse snacks, quick sides, and in some cases deliver the nutritional value of a balanced meal.

Ecology Minded - Tips to Improve Your Gas Mileage

Ecology MindedPracticing fuel efficient driving techniques can improve the fuel economy and can lower your gas mileage by up to 23 percent at highway speeds.

1. Observe the Speed Limit
While each vehicle reaches its optimal fuel economy at a different speed (or range of speeds), gas mileage usually decreases rapidly at speeds above 60 mph.

As a rule of thumb, you can assume that each 5 mph you drive over 60 mph is like paying an additional $0.20 per gallon for gas.

Observing the speed limit is also safer.
Fuel Economy Benefit: 7-23%  
Equivalent Gasoline Savings: $0.16-$0.53/gallon

Green Tips for Travel Nursing

2. Proper tire Inflation
Check air pressure at least once a week and sometimes more frequently in cold weather climates as temperature flux is associated with air loss.

3. Use Cruise Control
When driving to your next assignment,  use your cruise control on the highway. It helps you maintain a constant rate of speed and  in most cases, will save you gas. Travel nurses save their environment while saving money at the gas pump too.

4. Avoid Excessive Idling
When visiting new places and seeing the sites, try to avoid excess idling. Idling gets 0 miles per gallon. Turn your key off,  stretch your legs and enjoy your new surrounding using all of your senses: breathe in the fresh air, taste the salty ocean breezes, and let a gust of wind rejuvenate your mind and body.
