Pros
I’ve been working with Joey for several months before we finally landed on this assignment, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better recruiter. He really takes the time to listen to what I’m looking for and makes a real effort to find opportunities that match my preferences and goals. I never felt pressured into taking something that wasn’t right for me. This whole experience has been smooth and positive because of his support, communication, and patience throughout the process. I’m very grateful to have him as my recruiter and would definitely recommend him to other nurses.
Cons
None.

About
As the largest city in New Mexico, Albuquerque offers something for just about everyone. Charmingly quirky and wonderfully diverse, this town by the Rio Grand is not only an ideal base for day trips to natural wonders like Chaco Canyon, but it also has a rich history and dramatic landscapes of its own. Gaze across the desert and see snow-capped Mount Taylor 100 miles in the distance. The striking confluence of mountain ranges, vast river bordered by cottonwood forest, flocks of sandhill cranes flying overhead and countless colorful hot-air balloons that often fill the morning skies have long-drawn creative types and adventurers. Albuquerque's many highlights include vibrant galleries, world-class museums, farmers' markets and a thriving microbrewery scene. The historic district dubbed Old Town Plaza spans 10 blocks with fabulous restaurants, cafes, shops and the historic San Felipe de Neri Church, constructed in 1793.
