Fergus Falls is an unexpectedly lively base for multi-week assignments — a compact, walkable downtown, welcoming community, affordable living and ready access to dozens of lakes, parks and trails for running, biking, boating and weekend exploration so you won’t feel stuck between shifts. Local health facilities and steady patient volume make it a practical clinical stop as well as a pleasant place to live.
For more dining, shopping or weekend nightlife, Alexandria and Detroit Lakes are both within about an hour, giving quick options without losing the relaxed vibe of Fergus Falls.
