Great hospitals to work at in Louisville area?

[exactlywatt]

Hi,

My husband got a job in Lousiville and we will be relocating in June. I received my BSN in December 2009, my RN in February of 2010 and then had a baby in March. Consequently, the only nursing I've been doing is with my baby. I will start looking for a job when we move, ideally to begin a position in the fall when the older kids head back to school. Which hospitals do you folks recommend? I understand the difficulty in getting a job for new grads. I went to school in Las Vegas and have been living in northern Minnesota the past year. It is difficult everywhere. I am a 2nd degree student and have some good skills to bring with me (education, grant writing, program development, Spanish) so I'm hopeful I'll find something at some point. Ideally I want to work in L&D or some sort of women's health unit. I returned to school to get my CNM so the BSN was step one, so to speak. I precepted in L&D as well and plan on getting my ACLS, Neonate Resuc. and FHM certs this summer to get them under my belt. I can't wait to get a job to have extra money to spend on more education.

On a side note, I worked all of my clinicals in the county hospital and really liked that environment. I saw lots of interesting cases and the pateints we served needed a bit of extra TLC, which I enjoyed giving.

Thanks for your thoughts and comments!
