I got a travel nurse job at Stanford and I am going to start very soon.

I am having a hard time due to difficulty finding housing near Stanford hospital and not having a car.

But I would like to ask around here for possible places.

I am looking for a short term accommodation that is not far from Stanford. I am going to be in Stanford for 6 months. I am in my 30s and i am male. i am going to palo alto from a different state.

Any advice or suggestions for me?

Thank you in advance

I got a travel job at Stanford and I am going to start very soon.

But in the back of my mind, I feel like backing out of it. Here are 2 main reasons why I am thinking this way.

Housing is expensive. It looks like I have to find a housing a little further from the hospital not to pay a lot of money. But still it is at least 3000 dollars per month, and the landlord wants 3 months commitment while there is no guarantee that the hospital will not cancel my contract any time.

I dont have a car. Getting to work without a car seems not that easy. I will probably have to take bus or train for one hour to get to work.

Well. I heard great things about Stanford. I know it pays staff nurses super well but that has nothing to me because I am just a traveler. I have been a traveler for a while and I know travelers always get treated differently( and I am fine with it) . I am aware that Stanford pays travelers way less as well..

So would i be stupid to pass up this opportunity? I honestly am very anxious about going there..

Any advice or ideas for me?

Thank you in advance
