Hi! Does anyone know anything about Mission Hospital in Asheville?? I was contacted regarding a new grad position, but I have never been to the area. Thanks so much!
Nurse_Brady 1 Post Mar 19, 2009 I have done many clinicals there including neurosciences, cardiology, mental health, med-surg. I really enjoyed being there. Most of the nurses really want to help out new nurses and students. Some of the departments have a really intensive orientation program, but it is for the best. All in all, Mission would be a great place to work.As for the Asheville area, it's really "green, organic, tree-hugging hippie" if you're into that kind of thing (not to be offensive). There are a lot of things to do if you just go exploring. It is a very interesting place to live and work.

I'm not sure that I would love living in that kind of environment, but it is so hard to get hospital jobs in MA as a new grad that I'll go anywhere for the experience at this point! They were nice enough to offer a phone interview, so I figured I would jump at that opportunity.

Dustie4420 4 Posts Has 2 years experience. Jun 6, 2009 Hi,I'm from New Jersey and was thinking about relocating to Asheville, NC. I was interested in a L&D job at Mission. The hospital that I work at is a small community hospital and was looking for something more advanced/ teaching hospital. Is Mission a teaching hospital? And can anybody tell me more about the hospital itself?Thanks, Beth
