Registered Nurse - Ambulatory Care

Northern Navajo Medical Center

Learn more about yourself here, in Shiprock. The community of Shiprock, New Mexico, is known for its unique meaning in the Navajo language, Tse Bit'a'I, which refers to the legend of the great bird that brought the Navajo from the north to their present lands, the Four Corners region. When you use your imagination, Shiprock viewed from certain angles truly does resemble a large sitting bird with folded wings; the north and south summits are the tops of the wings for the giant creature. Witness the sculpted horizons of the southwest, where Hopi families still carry water to pueblo villages perched atop high mesas. Granaries at Keet Seel ruins in Navajo Nation Monument hold corn cobs stored seven centuries ago. Navajo families farm centuries-old fields in Canyon de Chelly National Monument, the site of prehistoric cliff dwellings inhabited by the Anasazi, ancestors of today's Pueblo Tribes. And Hopi and Navajo artisans still sell their trademark rugs and jewelry at the Hubble Trading Post. Explore the four corners region here.
