Louisiana
Louisiana is a great place to take a travel nursing assignment. It is divided into five regions, each with their own unique culture and customs.
SPORTSMAN’S PARADISE (North Louisiana)
The forests and rolling hills of northern Louisiana were a hunting paradise for Native Americans, French trappers and American settlers of the early 1700s and 1800s. Whether you're hunting for wild game or just the fun of gaming, adventure awaits in Sportsman's Paradise.
CROSSROADS (Central Louisiana)
Central Louisiana long ago became a meeting place for the many cultures of Louisiana. Among these lush prairies and gently rolling hills, Native Americans have thrived for centuries. Whether you glide above cotton fields in a hot-air balloon or just sit on a plantation veranda and watch for ghosts, make some time to enjoy the natural beauty, rich history, small-town friendliness and cultural diversity of a Crossroads adventure.
CAJUN COUNTRY
Bienvenue! Welcome to Cajun Country, the heart of French culture in Louisiana. Here you'll find a joie de vivre-a love of life-that makes it hard for visitors to leave! Tucked away among the bayous and swamplands of the Atchafalaya Basin-now considered one of the last great wilderness regions of the continental United States-the Cajuns blended 18th-century French with other European influences and local Native American dialects to create the charming and unique Cajun French that you'll hear in this magical part of the world. And here is where you can savor that famous Cajun cooking, and Cajun and Zydeco music at their source.
PLANTATION COUNTRY
Just west of New Orleans, the Great River Road begins its winding journey along both sides of the Mississippi River. Flowing fields of sugar cane occasionally give way to mysterious views of towering mansions set amongst centuries-old, moss-draped live oaks. This is Plantation Country, where lovingly preserved antebellum relics grace the landscape along with charming small towns and Louisiana's capital city. Diverse cultural traditions combine here to create the local "River Road cuisine" and the music: blues, zydeco, jazz, country and rock'n'roll. Baton Rouge boasts unique historic buildings, nightlife, riverboat gaming, shopping, theatre and ballet companies, a planetarium, plus museums of art, plantation life, science, political history, local African-American history and more.
GREATER NEW ORLEANS
In 1718 Jean Baptiste LeMoyne, Sieur de Bienville chose a high spot along the Mississippi River to be the center of the French colony of Louisiana. Surrounded by marshes, swamps, a lake and the river, it was known in the early days as "the island of New Orleans." Once you've danced through the streets on Mardi Gras, St. Patrick's Day, St. Joseph's Day, at a jazz funeral, or on just any old day, you'll understand.
