Feb 3, 2009 I go to Dover-foxcroft area every summer (I have a house on Sebec Lake) and know Mayo Regional Hospital very well. My dad needed to go ED at Mayo for a broken arm and they handled it very well. All in all, it's an excellent community hospital with exceptional physicians and nursing care. Dover is a very friendly area, I hope you enjoy your travel assignment there.

OBRN1994 26 Posts Specializes in L&D/PP. Mar 4, 2009 The area is beautiful! If you are accustom to the weather....which I'm sure you are....you will love it here. The people are very friendly. My husband and I just spent a long weekend in Quebec City...which is 200 miles to the north of us. That was a lot of fun, you can place that on your "to do" while in Bangor list!
Nursing_Dude 6 Posts Mar 4, 2009 Thanks, I'm really excited and yes I'm pretty used to the cold and snow. I've never lived outside the midwest. Any other advice or info would be awesome! (Mainly because I'm excited but a little part of me is a bit nervous)
