Hi all
I am a Physician Assistant student who has to do seven 6-week clinical rotations around the western united states. We do not get paid while we are working/learning at each clinic or hospital. Nor does the school coordinate or pay for our housing while on the road.
So, in an effort to manage the costs involved in this year long adventure, I am thinking of going the RV/motor home route. Seems so nice to not have to pack all my stuff up every six weeks, or to have to hunt for a room in a house to rent (or worse have to go to a hotel and rack up a large bill).
My main concern is finding places to park that are not too expensive, but also close to where I will need to work. Here are some general questions
What happens if I get a rotation that is not close to a park?
Is there a good list someplace that has parks and costs listed?
Do parks ever cut deals?
Is it legal to park overnight on city streets?
Is it safe for a single female?
Do you think I am crazy?
Any advice would be great.
thanks, and have a great day
