Why Vermont?

Vermont isn’t just a change of scenery—it’s a full-on breath of fresh air. With the Green Mountains as your backdrop and scenic drives lined with maple trees and covered bridges, there’s always something peaceful just outside your door. On your days off, you can ski fresh powder in the winter, hike quiet trails in the summer, or explore small-town farmers markets, bookstores, and local festivals.

Travel nurses will find a mix of respected hospitals, critical access sites, and academic hubs like the University of Vermont Medical Center. The teams here are tight-knit, collaborative, and truly community-focused, so you’ll never feel like just another traveler passing through. Whether based in Burlington, Brattleboro, or somewhere delightfully in between, Vermont gives you space to show up, dig in, and feel at home.

Berlin

It’s home to Central Vermont Medical Center, making it a prime location for nurses who want to make an impact without the bustle. Start your mornings with a walk through Northfield Falls or grab a maple scone from a local bakery before heading into work. On your days off, you can explore forested trails, ski nearby slopes, or venture into neighboring towns for cozy cafés and festivals. It’s a quiet spot, but never dull.

Montpelier

Nestled in the heart of central Vermont, Montpelier is the country’s smallest state capital—and one of its most charming. With historic downtown streets, mountain views, and a creative local spirit, this city feels like something out of a storybook. On your days off, explore art galleries, sip cider at Three Penny Taproom, or walk along the Winooski River. You’re also a quick drive from outdoor adventures in every season. Nurses working in or near Montpelier find not just a job, but a rhythm that’s calm, connected, and deeply meaningful.

Rutland

Located in southwestern Vermont, Rutland is your launchpad for mountain-town adventures and relaxed living. It’s surrounded by scenic beauty and just a short drive from Killington, one of the East Coast’s most popular ski resorts. When you’re not on the clock, hike Pine Hill Park, visit local farmers markets, or explore downtown’s lively arts scene. The city’s strong healthcare system and welcoming community make it an ideal home base for nurses who want connection, balance, and a bit of mountain magic.
