I've lived in Idaho my whole life. Yes it is beautiful. I believe that if you are going to be living in Swan Valley, your best bet is to check into the hospital in Jackson. No matter which way you decide to go the roads suck in the winter. We've just had "the storm of the century"

a whole 6 inches of it. I'm sure it was more than that, but it sure didn't seem as big as they said it would be. The other reason is in Idaho Falls they have this tight knit group call Mormons and if you aren't one than you can bet you are the minority and treated as such. I am currently a CNA working on my LPN and work at a hospital south of IF. It took me a year to finally tell my co workers I did not appreciate them constantly talking about their religion and belittling mine and others beliefs. Good luck to you.
