It’s almost February, which means that Valentine’s Day is just around the corner! For some, the holiday of love can be a special one and a great way to remember the connection you have with your significant other. For others, Valentine’s Day can be discouraging and downright challenging. If you’re a traveling nurse, you know that relationships of any kind take a commitment to extra work in order to thrive. In this post, we’ll discuss our temporary housing for travel nurses as well as ideas for success in connecting with others while on the go.
You can feel the love…anywhere you are!

A life of adventure definitely comes with its perks. After all, as a traveling medical professional, you get to try out a variety of nursing specialties in various settings around the country (or world). While living in new locations such as Shreveport LA, you can see the sights, meet new people and experience life in a whole new way. But adventure can come with loneliness. As a traveling nurse, you need to build support systems into your life to help in coping with being alone. Here are some ideas…
- Get a pet! One great way to bust the blues is to treat yourself to a dog or cat this month.
There’s nothing like the welcoming gaze of a loyal dog after a stressful, tiring day at the hospital. Here at Shreveport-Bossier Corporate Housing, we have pet-friendly rentals available for your needs. - Bring a friend along! If you have another good friend who also needs temporary housing for travel nurses, you can room together. Some of our fully furnished condos have more than one bedroom and are perfect for sharing with a roommate. You’ll both benefit from amenities like washer / dryer units in the condo, HP or Epson printer and desk area as well as an equipped kitchen area with utensils, Keurig machine, stove, cookie sheet etc.
- Try online dating! Yes, it’s tough to get out there…especially with a pandemic going on. But there are options for meeting people virtually and getting to know someone through FaceTime or similar means. Check out Match.com, Coffee Meets Bagel, eHarmony.com and the like. Of course, you can always meet someone through work or a shared common interest. Don’t pressure yourself that a relationship has to happen, but be open and available if one comes along. It should be exciting and fun, not stressful!
- Host a virtual Galentine’s Day or Guys Game Night with your best buddies! Gather everyone around their respective screens and celebrate friendship wherever you are. Check out this article for Galentine’s Day ideas or this one for ideas on a game night.

More than ever, frontline workers like you are appreciated and valued. Thank you!!
