Rhode Island Healthcare Jobs

The smallest state in the U.S. has a lot of medical travel jobs waiting for you. Rhode Island is officially named the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations. Despite its name, most of the state of Rhode Island lies on the North American mainland. Providence Plantations refers to the mainland, while Rhode Island was the 17th and 18th century name for Aquidneck Island, now composed of the city of Newport and the towns of Middletown and Portsmouth. Rhode Island was the first of the thirteen original American colonies to declare independence from British rule and the last to ratify the United States Constitution. Rhode Island has long held the nickname of “Little Rhody”, though the state has officially adopted the nickname of “the Ocean State,” as nearly one tenth of Rhode Island’s inland area is covered by salt water, and no part of the state is more than a 30-minute drive from the water’s edge. Rhode Island is home to a number of oceanfront beaches. Rhode Island is mostly flat with no real mountains. Rhode Island’s highest natural point is Jerimoth Hill, only 812 feet above sea level. A rare mineral, called Cumberlandite found only in Rhode Island, specifically in the town of Cumberland, was adopted as the state rock. There were initially two known deposits of the mineral, but since it can be engineered into a form of gun powder, one of the deposits was almost completely mined in the American Civil War.

Rhode Island is home to the famous roadside attraction Nibbles Woodaway, the Big Blue Bug, the world’s largest termite. Scenic Route 1A (known locally as Ocean Road) in Narragansett is home to “The Towers”, a large stone arch. It was once the entrance to the famous Narragansett casino that burned down in 1900. The towers now serve as a tourist information center and also a banquet hall for events like weddings and birthday parties. Providence is home to the First Baptist Church in America, the oldest Baptist church in America, which was founded by Roger Williams in 1638. Providence is also the home of the first fully automated post office in the country. The seaside city of Newport is home to many famous mansions, including The Breakers, Marble House and Belcourt Castle. It is also home to the Touro Synagogue, dedicated on 2 December 1763, the first synagogue within the United States, and still serving. The synagogue showcases the religious freedoms that were established by Roger Williams as well as impressive architecture in a mix of the classic colonial and Sephardic style. The Newport Casino is a National Historic Landmark building complex that presently houses the International Tennis Hall of Fame and features an active grass-court tennis club. You have to experience all this history yourself when you take a healthcare travel job in Rhode Island.
