Hi Amy,
I think you will enjoy the USofA. I'm on my first travel assignment in California, and love it. I have heard from other travelers that working in Florida can be a little rough because of the pay and the nurse/pt. ratio, but I haven't been there. I have lived and worked in Arkansas for the past 13 yrs and have worked with alot of nurses from England, Ireland and Scotland at the University of Arkansas in Little Rock, many of whom have made it their home. Good luck with your travels.
