Furnished Housing

Short-term rentals and furnished housing options may be limited due to the city's remote location.
It's advisable to plan ahead and work with local real estate agencies.

Transportation

Juneau is not very car-friendly due to its rugged terrain and limited road access.
Public transportation options include buses and ferries, but a personal vehicle may be more convenient for travel nurses.

Juneau has a diverse population with a mix of Native Alaskan, Caucasian, and other ethnic groups.
The age range varies, with a significant portion of the population being middle-aged or older.
Common health issues may include seasonal affective disorder (SAD) due to the long, dark winters.
There is a small but active community of travel nurses.
