Phillipsburg is a friendly, walkable county seat of about 2,300 with a picturesque courthouse square, museums, a community theatre, golf course, parks and seasonal rodeo and festivals—perfect for multi‑week contracts when you want local character, safety and regular community events rather than feeling stuck.
Local services (hospital, grocery, cafes) and volunteer-run arts/sports mean you can settle in comfortably and stay busy between shifts; when you want bigger-city options, Hays is about 60–65 miles away with a regional airport, Fort Hays State University and more dining/shopping choices.
