Re: Relocating to Boise
Hope you found a job, seems like slim pickings lately, but should turn around soon.
Local hospitals in Boise are St. Alphonsus - (
www.sarmc.org) St. Luke's (
www.stlukesonline.com)
Nampa and Caldwell also have hospitals, Mercy and West Valley (I can never remember which is where.... ) about 20 minutes to Nampa and 30 ish to Caldwell. To the East is Elmore Medical Center about 40 minutes from Boise. Farther to the West is Holy Rosary Medical Center in Ontario Oregon about an hour drive down the freeway.
There's a variety of private clinics in the area as well, search groups like Primary Health.
There is also a newer private hospital in Boise SWIAC - SouthWest Idaho Advanced Care... I don't know much about them, but it's basically a stand alone "step down" ICU. Vented long term patients...
If you don't get a job and are still moving to Boise... consider getting your MSN!! ISU in Boise and BSU offer great programs...
Good luck to you!
