The city
Living in Philadelphia, PA
Philadelphia pairs world-class medical institutions with deep American history and a genuine, every-neighborhood-has-personality grit. You can eat your way through the Italian Market, catch a game in South Philly, or stroll along the Schuylkill River Trail. The City of Brotherly Love blends big-city clinical opportunity with a surprisingly livable, down-to-earth feel for traveling nurses.

More about Cathedral Village
Pennsylvania is a compact-license state and taxes wage income at a flat 3.07%. Philadelphia's cost of living sits about 3% above the national price level. People who work at the city's hospitals often name Fairmount, Francisville, and Spring Garden as close-in places to live; you would still match your block to 19128, not to Penn or Jefferson by default. We do not have scheduling, float, union, EHR, or new-grad residency details for you here. Thomas Jefferson University and Hospitals, Penn Medicine, Jefferson Health, and Roxborough Memorial Hospital also hire in the same city if you want to stack this against a larger system.

The reality check
Before you decide
Weighing a first job here?
The license clock and the job hunt run at once, and new-grad windows do the deciding. Residency commitments carry fine print worth reading before you sign.
