Montana Healthcare Jobs
Big Sky Country is waiting for you—come take a medical travel job in Montana. The central and western thirds of Montana have numerous mountain ranges (approximately 77 named) of the northern Rocky Mountains, thus the state’s name, derived from the Spanish word montaña (“mountain”). The state nickname is the “Treasure State.” Other nicknames include “Land of Shining Mountains”, “Big Sky Country” and its slogan “the last best place”. Millions of visitors a year visit Montana to see sites like, Glacier National Park, the Battle of Little Bighorn site and three of the five entrances to Yellowstone National Park. Other federally recognized sites include the Little Bighorn National Monument, Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area, Big Hole National Battlefield, Lewis and Clark Caverns and the National Bison Range. Montana has eight National Forests and over 20 National Wildlife Refuges. The Federal government administers 36,000,000 acres. 275,000 acres are administered as state parks and forests.
With a land area of 145,552 square miles the state of Montana is the fourth largest in the United States (after Alaska, Texas and California), meaning there is a lot of areas for a healthcare travel job. The northern section of the Divide, where the mountains give way rapidly to prairie, is known collectively as the Rocky Mountain Front and is most pronounced in the Lewis Range located primarily in Glacier National Park. About 60% of the state is actually prairie, part of the northern Great Plains. Nonetheless, even east of the Continental Divide and the Rocky Mountain Front, there are a number of isolated "Island Ranges" that dot the prairie landscape. Several Indian reservations are located in Montana, Fort Peck Indian Reservation, Fort Belknap Indian Reservation, Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation, Crow Indian Reservation, Rocky Boy’s Indian Reservation, Blackfeet Indian Reservation and the Flathead Indian Reservation
