  3. Explore American History: If you're assigned to a location with significant historical sites, use the 4th of July as a chance to delve into America's past. Visit museums, national monuments, or landmarks that played a crucial role in shaping the nation. Immerse yourself in the rich history of your travel destination!
  4. Host a Patriotic Movie Night: Gather a group of fellow travel nurses and plan a movie night featuring classic American films with a patriotic theme. Movies like "Independence Day," "Born on the Fourth of July," or "Captain America: The First Avenger" can add a touch of patriotism to your evening. Don't forget the popcorn and American-themed snacks!
