O'Bleness Hospital "No openings to the public" for hiring????

Family lives in area and said there has been major changes in hiring policy. Have you considered other facilities?

Yeah for Boone County.

Like I said, the family that lives in the area says Obleness has laid off LPN's, not filled other open positions, and seems to have some money problems. It is a union facility. Benefits are good from what I hear but that is all I know.

I am not sure just what other facilities are in the area beside the hospital in Marietta, Ohio, Gallapolis, Ohio, and one in Ironton, Ohio. Family members have used these facilities over the years.

Whatever you decide, I am sure the move southward would be a happy one for you. Lots of people from WV and Ohio cross over for shopping and medical care. It would certainly cut down on the drive back to Boone county. LOL!

Keep us posted on what happens. BLessings.

Many hospitals are hiring from in-house first.
Are you aware of the joking title "Oh Bless Me" Hospital???

Last first person story from there was when a doc perfed the OU School of Journalism's bowel during a 'routine" procedure and no one found it until OSU...in spite of two trips to ER, calling surgeon, etc....

Now. it may be a lovely place to work...

Go to hvch.org. Our focus is for a better place for patient's to receive care, employees to work and physician's to praciice medicine. Its a GREAT place to work!! Been there 20 years!!
