- Travel PT job in Goldsboro, NC
- I did not end up writing a post about this assignment because, right when it ended, we were supposed to be headed to Latin America for 5 months. Instead, the pandemic hit. So, a lot of other things took precedence and I forgot to ever write this post. But I’ll summarize by saying we loved our time in Goldsboro even though it was a tiny town. We visited many friends and family on the weekends because we weren’t too far from home in VA & from friends we’ve made over the years in NC. My job was amazing, one on one outpatient clinic in a rural town with wonderful co-workers and patients!

- October 2020-January 2021:
- We worked PRN at home in Roanoke, Virginia consistently during this time because of the pandemic and uncertainty with traveling. Now, we still have our PRN jobs and return there periodically when we are home, sometimes for a few days, few weeks, or a month or more.
