KDMC, the largest employer in town (4000+ positions), cut ~400 jobs about a month ago, including some nurses. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As for LPN jobs, the main market is in doctors offices and nursing homes. I'd try Paul B. Hall Regional Medical Center and Mountain Manor Nursing Home for Paintsville; for Prestonsburg, try Highlands Regional Medical Center and Riverview Nursing Home; for Lawrence County, the only one I'm aware of is Three Rivers Medical Center (they have their own home health). Of course, LPN positions are also often advertised for in the local papers (try the Paintsville Herald and Big Sandy News). Hope this helps! :) 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
