Hi,
I will be relocating to Huntsville in the next month or so and I'm in search of employment. I'm currently a LPN and have been for the past 13 years. I'm in school furthering my degree and hopefully I will be accepted into Calhoun Community's LPN to RN bridge for the Jan class. I'm having a problem finding employment, I'm currently doing pediatric home health/private duty. The problem is I am registered with several different pediatric home health nursing agencies in GA. and none of my agencies have offices in Huntsville. Is there anyone who knows of any pediatric home health agencies or jobs in Huntsville? I don't want to relocate without employment.
Thanks.

I don't know of any peds home health agencies specifically in Huntsville unless they are merged within the adult ones. I don't live in the Huntsville area but live 60 miles outside. Have you looked at the hospitals in the area to see if there is something there?
The 2 main ones are Huntsville Hospital (they also have a Women and Children's Hospital) and Crestwood Hospital.

I'm not really interested in hospital work. I would like to continue working in private duty home health with peds. I'm currently living in Atlanta and work for a private duty home health agency which I enjoy. I'll be starting nursing school soon and I'm just looking for a more relaxed environment to work so I can study on my down time.
