Have you ever wanted to attend a hot air balloon festival? Well, as a Travel Nurse or Professional Healthcare Traveler, you can get your assignment lined up in Albuquerque in October and be close for the World's Largest Hot Air Balloon Festival.

This 9 day long festival in Albuquerque, New Mexico normally has over 500 participating balloons and it is quite an amazing sight to see. As a finale there is the "night glow" or "balloon glow" event.The balloons glow like huge fireflies or Chinese lanterns and are often accompanied by fireworks.

Of course, Albuquerque and New Mexico have so much more to offer as well for the nurse traveler. Immerse yourself in the rich heritage and culture of the Southwest, with centuries of history. Blue skies and sunshine 310 days a year are perfect for many outdoor activities. You can shop for authentic Native American jewelry, try hot air ballooning, explore living history museums, sample the local cuisine and participate in many of the local events and festivals.

There are many large medical facilities in the area including Presbyterian Hospital, UNM Hospital, Lovelace Medical Center and The Heart Hospital of New Mexico. These facilities are always on the lookout for top talent. Here is a link to our jobs board so you can check it out.
