White gypsum dunes roll within view of Alamogordo, NM, where White Sands National Park spreads its surreal landscape twenty minutes from town and Holloman Air Force Base shapes both the economy and the patient mix. The hospital here serves the Tularosa Basin's communities, keeping emergency and medical-surgical contracts in rotation for nurses. Cloudcroft's cool pine forests sit thirty minutes up the mountain, a nine-thousand-foot escape from summer heat, and Ruidoso's resort country lies an hour beyond. The Museum of Space History climbs the foothills with rockets and the stories of the region's aerospace century. A place here is inexpensive and close. The dunes at sunset alone justify the assignment for many RNs.
