Join an all-CRNA practice working independently at a GI only facility! Eugene has a way of feeling both laid-back and full of life at the same time. It's the kind of place where people are outside a lot---running, biking, or just hanging out by the river when the weather's nice.
The University of Oregon adds a steady buzz to the city, especially during game days and events, but it never takes over completely. There's still plenty of room for quiet neighborhoods, local hangouts, and a slower pace if that's what you're after. You'll find a mix of good food trucks, solid coffee spots, and breweries, plus an artsy side that shows up in murals, markets, and live music.
And when you want a change of scenery, you're not far from hiking trails, forests, or even the coast.
