Northern New Hampshire on the Quebec border here! Closest hospital is 16 beds and is 30 min. away. We're an hour north of the northernmost McDonald's in NH, an hour north of the nearest traffic light, and 70 miles from the closest WalMart. We have to use old bag phones in the car instead of handheld cell phones (and the towers are bounced from Canada---talk about roaming fees! LOL!). I"m a CNA in LTC and commuting 1-1/2 hours each way currently to attend nursing school (the closest college). I want to do ARNP later and that is four hours each way so I'll have to stay there during the week, I guess!

Just moved from town of 500 to the big city of Omaha, NE. I'm still in school but my ultimate goal is to work somewhere in the Dakotas. Anyone have experiences to share about this area?

Im from Australia and i work in the gigantic state of Queensland. Rural and remote work. Worked ten months on a tropical island in a aboriginal community. Now in a dusty ant ridden mining town. Its nothing to travel 10 to 12 hours to get to a major city, not that australia has a lot of major cities. But queensland is cool, its soo big and soo empty. No jokes last night after finishing shift 2300hrs there was three grey kangaroos on the hospital lawn having a near midnight snack. This hospital is wopping 16 bed facility with outpatient/emergancy facilities. next stop the Northern Territory, watch the crocs crikey.
