Registered Nurse - Outpatient

Registered Nurse

The Land of Enchantment... Here's Your Invitation The Community Chinle, AZ This opportunity is in Northern Arizona where Hopi and Navajo Nation meet. If you like the outdoors and are fascinated by Native culture, this assignment is for you. You will be working five minutes from Canyon de Chelly, one of the largest, and most significant archaeological preserves in the U.S. And if you are not fascinated by the 5,000-year history of the park, you will be stunned by its red rock formations and wooded, red-floored canyons. Meanwhile, you will be within driving distance of five other National Parks including the Grand Canyon. You won't want to miss the Hubble Trading Post where Navajo and Hope traded wool blankets for pesh-tai, tokens they could use to buy other goods. It has been essentially unchanged since 1883. More importantly, you will be alleviating the health care shortage in one of the most underserved regions in the U.S. Navajo and Hope are 5-6 times more likely to suffer from debilitating chronic health conditions due to poor living conditions and lack of access to care.
