As the ski season ramps up, so too does the need for seasonal resort nurses. Many of the big ski resort towns grow into a blossoming resort in the wintertime. As the slopes become packed with skiers and snowboarders, the hospitals near resorts see an overflow of emergencies, broken bones and head injuries. With so many seasonal patients, these resort-area hospitals need to hire additional resort nurses to ensure they have full staffing during the winter months.
Traveling nurses especially make the most of the ski season. Here is a list of the top five nursing ski destinations:
- Vail, Colorado
- Park City, Utah
- Killington, Vermont
- Aspen, Colorado
- Lake Tahoe, California/Nevada
