My time as a Viamonde Healthcare Counselor

If you are a Registered Nurse and a winter sports enthusiast, there are fewer better opportunities than to do a combination of the two with Viamonde. I started off with the intention of doing one season nearly ten years ago, ended up doing three and still am going back in my spare time. A very personable company to work for, you are VERY well looked after.
