Springfield may not have that high-paced vibe that some of the bigger cities in Oregon have, but what it does offer is a comforting at-home feeling that will make any person who is new in town feel like they've been there for years. Outdoor and historical activities are available all around town for that weekend retreat you may find yourself needing. And, the restaurants around town offer a great variety of comfort food that is reasonably priced, so you'll never want for a good place to eat. If you're more of a low-key kind of nurse, then you'll enjoy the quiet serenity of this beautiful little town.
