Although some people have gone to Hawaii on their first assignment, some people recommend against it for many reasons. I took my first assignment at a top hospital near family, that way I can stay with therm, keep most of my housing stipend and still get travel experience. You just have to take the chance and get over your fear or you will never do it. California is an ideal first assignment. That's my next stop ?

Get up and go! You are still young and now is the time to take risks!

Get up and go for it. best thing I did. My first assignment was close to home then the next on was 1500miles from home. I wanted to travel to California so badly but I ended up in las vegas. Spend some time in this website and research hospitals and agencies that way you know what questions to ask. good luck.
