Thinking about a winter assignment in the Midwest? Spoiler alert: you’re going to love it. Yes, it’s cold. Yes, it snows. And YES—you’ll come back with stories, cozy memories, and maybe even a newfound appreciation for thermal socks.

 Winter Here Is a Whole Mood

Snowy downtown cafés… sparkling small-town lights… friendly locals who treat travel nurses like celebrities—
Midwest winter isn’t just chilly, it’s charming.

Bring your camera. You will want pictures.

Drive Smart, Arrive Cozy

Hospitals keep things running no matter the weather—but let’s help you get there comfortably:

• Winter tires = your new best friend

• Keep a fuzzy blanket and snacks in the car

• Warm up your ride (and your soul) with a good playlist

• Add 10 extra minutes to your commute for “scenic cruising”

DTN Tip: Slow and steady wins the snowy race.

Layer Like You Mean It

Your winter starter pack:

• Chunky scarf

• Waterproof boots

• A coat that basically gives you a hug

• Underscrub layers (thermal but make it fashion)

Warm nurses = happy nurses. That’s science.

Make Winter Your Off-Shift Playground

Midwest assignments come with unexpected perks:

• Ice skating in cute downtown parks

• Cozy cabin weekends

• Winter festivals with hot cocoa that tastes like pure happiness

• Snowy hikes that look straight out of a holiday movie

Your days off just got a glow-up.

Midwest Hospitality Hits Different

If the weather gets wild, don’t worry—
Midwesterners show up.
You’ll find neighbors with spare shovels, nurses who become instant friends, and hospital teams that support you every step (and snowflake) of the way.
