Texas Travel Nursing

Travel nursing in California has been such an amazing experience. I love the weather, the people, and everything is just so beautiful and beachy. The facility I worked out of Hoag Memorial is one of the nicest looking facilities I’ve ever seen.

About Me:

My name is Thalia Farah, and I have 2 careers! First and foremost I am a traveling nurse. Travel nursing allows me to travel all around the country and meet new people and experience different things. Travel nurses only have to work three days out of the week, leaving four days to explore and experience the area they are living in. And while I absolutely love being a travel nurse, I love travel nursing even more because it allows me to enjoy my other passion oriental dance (belly dancing). Please feel free to “shimmy” through my site and see some of the things that I love in life!

Dancing:

I have been a belly dancer for the last 15 years now, and my career has been going better than ever! I have built a highly extensive network of restaurants and clubs that I have performed at, and it is still growing. Not only do I get to perform at some of the coolest Middle Eastern, Moroccan, and Greek restaurants but the food is excellent (one of my other passions)!

Travel Nursing in the US:

I have traveled to New York, California, New Mexico and I am currently in Arizona. California and New York are some of the best places to be a travel nurse. I love the atmosphere of New York and the fact that you never run out of things to do. They also have the best and most authentic Middle Eastern and Mediterranean food! California travel nursing is awesome because it is like a big vacation. The weather is perfect, the facilities are very nice, and the clubs and restaurants have a great vibe- no matter where in California you go.

Travel Nursing in San Diego, California:

It doesn’t matter if you have lived in California your whole life, or you are just visiting, you will never want to leave. San Diego has a great energy to it and a lot of really neat places to dine out. Travel nurses love San Diego because its laid back, it has many different and fun areas that everyone will find a place where they fit!
