Western Montana is where the state’s name (from the Latin or Spanish word for “mountainous”) fits best: steep pitches and narrow north-south valleys line up from the Idaho border to Interstate 15.
These ranges of the Rocky Mountains are shot through with mineral veins, especially copper and silver. The Absaroka and Gallatin ranges are blanketed with volcanic rocks from eruptions in the area of Yellowstone National Park.

Travel nurses with a compact license can start assignments more quickly.
If you’re from a non-compact state, you’ll need to apply for a Montana license. The process is straightforward and handled before your assignment begins.
Make sure your license is active and in good standing before starting your travel assignment.
Always verify your compact license eligibility and any Montana-specific requirements.
Check CE requirements if your assignment will extend beyond one year.
