Lincoln County Medical Center is a non-profit, Critical Access hospital located in the small town of Ruidoso, New Mexico, offering a close-knit community environment that may appeal to international nurses seeking a supportive setting. While the hospital has not yet hired international nurses, its history of EB3 sponsorship suggests openness to international applicants. The area’s modest international population and the hospital’s community-focused approach make it a potential fit for nurses looking for a welcoming, small-town experience.

Regional price parities (RPPs) are regional price levels expressed as a percentage of the overall national price level for a given year. The price levels are determined by the average prices paid by consumers for the mix of goods and services consumed in each region. Taking the ratio of RPPs shows the difference in price levels across regions.
