Huntsville Info Please

Published

I'd really appreciate any information on working in Huntsville. I'm an RN in California and my husband is considering a move to Redstone orificenal Army Base. All I know is that it's not too far on Google Maps to Nashville, which is where we lived for 4 years. So any info on the hospitals, the area, the schools, also transfering my license...I'd love it!!! Thanks!!

Specializes in ICU, IMCU.
Huntsville hospital is a 870+ bed hospital that is great place to work for, it is a nonprofit teaching hospital. I have worked in one of their many ICU's for 12 years, also Fox Army Hospital has some openings if you want to do the office thing, there is another local hospital but I would not recommend. You will love this area.

I have 1 class left before I graduate in December with my ASN and my husband has already been relocated to the Huntsville area with his job. I am a little nervous about finding a job due to the economy. I have experience as a PCT in ICU and IMCU, and this is the area I really really want to work in. I know that finding a job has a lot to do with networking, but I don't know a soul in the Huntsville area. I can provide several letters of reference, but I was wondering if there was any way to do a preceptorship at HH even though I am not in school in that region. I know that a preceptorship at HH would better my chances of getting a job in the ICU or IMCU. I have already contacted the nurse recruiter about what to prepare for in the application process, and she made me feel like I was insane for calling 5 months before graduation. She told me to start applying in October. Can anyone help me with preceptorship information?

Thanks,

Martha Mulligan
