Babcock State Park, WV

July 5, 2018 by JessicaKrauel Leave a Comment

I have really been wanting to go camping lately.  I love camping.  Unfortunately, the other members of my family aren’t feeling right now- especially with this’heat wave’. Yep, it’s summer here in West Virginia.  It’s in the 90s this week with a ‘real feel’ over 100.  So, no one wants to camp (even though it … [Read more…]

Visiting New River Gorge Bridge

May 27, 2018 by JessicaKrauel Leave a Comment

  We headed about an hour and a half away to visit the New River Gorge Bridge.  It was built in 1977 and, at one time, was the longest arch bridge in the world.  Today, it is the second largest arch bridge in the world.  Pretty neat, right?  Our first stop was the New River … [Read more…]

Visiting Hawks Nest State Park

May 25, 2018 by JessicaKrauel 2 Comments

Hawks Nest state park   A few days ago we took a little trip to Hawks Nest State Park.  It’s about an hour a way from us and the road we traveled along a scenic highway.  I enjoyed seeing the towns with homes nestled in the ‘hollers’ with the mountains in the background.  West Virginia … [Read more…]

A Good Sense of Humor

May 18, 2018 by JessicaKrauel Leave a Comment

Thank God I have a good sense of humor.  I’m not quite sure how you would get through this life without one.  I think the ability to laugh at myself helps to keep me sane– especially when I do stupid stuff. So I work my first three shifts on the floor at my new job … [Read more…]

Why We Decided to Park the RV…… for now

May 16, 2018 by JessicaKrauel 2 Comments

So, one of the topics I planned on talking about for traveling nurses and people who travel full time or travel a lot are housing options.  Really I can only speak to two options- living in an RV and taking company housing.  Not all people who travel full time have the option to take company … [Read more…]

Happy Nurses Week

May 11, 2018 by JessicaKrauel 4 Comments

Well, I start work on the floor on Tuesday.  I’m getting myself mentally prepared.  I now have my 6th travel badge in hand.  On my way home (to our new apartment, not SC)  I was thinking of the places where I’ve worked, the people I’ve worked with and how my nursing career started. I’ve worked … [Read more…]

What the Travel Life Looks Like for Our Family

May 10, 2018 by JessicaKrauel Leave a Comment

When I meet people and they find out that I’m a travel nurse, traveling with my family,  they have two main questions.  What does your husband do, is he a nurse, too? And,  what do you do about school for your kids.  I’d say those are two very natural questions and I never have any … [Read more…]

Good Morning from West Virginia!

May 9, 2018 by JessicaKrauel 2 Comments

Well, we made it to West Virginia yesterday evening.  Our trip was pretty uneventful.  We finished packing up the last minute things (refrigerated food, bedding, etc.) in the U-Haul trailer and made it on the road around 9:00 am.  I have pretty much given up on trying to head out early at this point because … [Read more…]

Visiting Home and Snowpocalypse 2018

January 15, 2018 by JessicaKrauel Leave a Comment

Well, here we are, about to wrap up a two month visit home.  We had no intention of staying home this long, but it’s the way it happened.  My next assignment has ended up starting later than I had anticipated. This has been a great time of rest.  I did not get to see everyone … [Read more…]

Seeing the Sequoias- Big Tree State Park

September 29, 2017 by JessicaKrauel Leave a Comment

Visiting the Big Trees Today we took a trip to Calaveras Big Trees State Park in Arnold, California.  This was another location to mark off of the bucket list.  For years I have wanted to see ‘the big trees’.  Before visiting California and the Redwood National Park I did not know the difference between Redwoods … [Read more…]
