The city
Living in Bozeman, MT
Bozeman sits in Montana's Gallatin Valley, framed by the Bridger Range to the north and Hyalite Peaks to the south. A college-town energy from Montana State University blends with a historic downtown core of brick storefronts and trailheads just minutes away. It's a four-season outdoor-recreation hub that draws nurses seeking mountain-town living without sacrificing cafés, breweries, and community feel.

More about The Orthopedics Surgical Center of Montana
Orthopedic experience helps and is preferred, but it is not required; they do prefer at least a year of pre- and post-op work. Your schedule follows the surgery board and your availability. PRN carries a minimum of two shifts a month; full-time is open as well. Work is in person at the Bozeman site (59718), so you need a workable commute. The center is adding RNs because patient demand is up. Bozeman runs a little above the national cost of living, and housing is the line item that makes people pause. Montana is a compact-license state if you are bringing a multi-state license, and the state uses a graduated income tax.
