Thanks!I dunno 'bout home health, but King's Daughters is hiring loads of nurses. Last I heard, they've got ~160 new grad nurses going through the residency program this summer

Home health wise, I would say call some of the HHA and ask if they are hiring. I know my local paper runs adds for home health nurses quite often and I live about 30 minutes from Ashland.

She now works at Cornerstone Hospital in Huntington, WV...that's the positive thing about that area...many options when it comes to hospitals...you have Three Rivers, KDMC, OLBH, Cabell, St Mary's etc. Good luck =)
