Healthcare is the fastest-growing industry in South Dakota and is expected to grow by over 30% through 2012. South Dakota offers terrific incentives to recruit and keep nurses in the state, including the Health Professional Recruitment Incentive Program, which compensates nurses who fulfill a two-year work commitment.
South Dakota is aptly nicknamed the Mount Rushmore State because of the famous mountain carving 500 feet up in the Black Hills Mountains. The depiction of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln was started in 1927 and took 14 years and $1 million dollars to complete.
