Albuquerque, in Bernalillo County, is New Mexico's largest city. It is located in the central part of the state beside the Rio Grande River. The metropolitan area has approximately 750,000 residents and includes the Rio Rancho area, which is one of the U.S.'s fastest growing areas.
Recently, government leaders and many citizens in the city have actively pursued urban projects taken on by cities many times larger. A huge push has resulted in the revitalization of downtown, creating restaurants, offices, and residential lofts. The strip of Central Avenue between First and Eighth streets has become a bustling, albeit short, hub of urban life, creating a big-city feel. The city usually has, to no great surprise, a warm and dry climate.
Albuquerque is home to the University of New Mexico and Kirtland Air Force Base. It offers a unique atmosphere for nursing with many different programs of study and a cultural climate that is distinctly southwestern, with all the conveniences, opportunities, and variety of residents of a large and growing city.
