I am interested in hearing anything and everything about working at an IHS facility. Do you really get to see a lot of cultural differences? What are the attitudes like toward the traveling nurses? I know a lot of these jobs are in very rural areas, are you welcomed into the community or treated more like an outsider? I am new to travel, I wanted an IHS facility for my first assignment but they move so slow, I took a 6 week assignment near my home but hopefully my next assignment will be in Gallup, NM. Please share!

I would love some more info on specific reservations but I can't PM. What reservations have you worked on and which is the most functional if your spouse will need to work nearby and have a young child? I'm just not sure about the real rural ones because of daycare and all that.

Wondering, how open and welcoming are the IHS facilities ?
