Living in Monterey, CA
Monterey sits on California's central coast, where Pacific fog rolls over Cannery Row and the bay's kelp forests draw sea otters and divers alike. A laidback maritime town with world-class seafood, the Monterey Bay Aquarium, and a tight-knit medical community at nearby Community Hospital—it's a scenic, slower-paced place to plant roots between San Francisco and Los Angeles.

An experienced nurse still has questions. They've just had more practice knowing who to ask.
Call for help the minute your patient looks off to you, not once you are sure. Needing help is not a mark against you. It puts more eyes on the patient, sooner.
