Hope this helps! Feel free to ask me anything else!

Well, from what I hear, home health is the way to go in Paris. Since I'm new on the block again, I don't really know yet. I wasn't a nurse when I lived here before. As far as outlying "small communities" in the Paris area, there are a plethora. Most people choose where they want to live based on where they want their kids to go to school, since the school districts are rigid here and you only attend the one you live in. If you want city comforts close to home, the east/north east portion of the city is what you want (out hwy 82/Reno or hwy 195). These are fast growing areas and very close to new development. Also, WalMart is out this way. BUT, I have to say, after having lived in a major metropolitan area for a few years, living pretty much anywhere within ten minutes of Loop 286 gets you into the city quickly. As far as your lifestyle, you sound very similar to me in that you prefer things laidback. Paris is definitely one of those places. It's easy to fly under the radar. The one major flaw of this area is gossip. It is thick and very negative in these parts. But like I said, it is easy to fly under the radar. Just stay out of the lives of those that attract most of it. Not hard to do, IMHO. But yes, if your kids go out drinkin' on a Saturday night, it's not hard to found out. And if you don't hear it from someone else, you can pretty much gather it yourself by asking around about the kids they hang out with. It's a dry county, so SOMEbody has to buy the booze, ya know what I mean? Campbell's may be good as a temporary place of employment, but for years now there has been talk of shutting down the plant to streamline production. I wouldn't choose it as a permanent place for your hubby. KC is very reputable and know to be good steady work. The plant makes specialty products and does well, so no threat of shut down for a long time. Sara Lee is an old plant (used to be Earth Grains) and I don't hear many good things about it, but I don't know a whole lot either. You also have Turner Piping near KC which may be a possibility. I would definitely rent for a year first. I think it is the small town atmosphere you are looking for, but you will want to get familiar with the area and schools first before you decide on where to buy. I am not familiar with the rental place you have listed, but it seems like just a listings site so shouldn't be too shady. The Paris News is also an excellent source for rental properties in the area.

I have had this happen as well with an anesthesiologist. It was my case and the pt was obviously hysterical. She was given a Versed cocktail to make sure she forgot the whole incident, but all of us in the OR knew what was happening. It was a new anesthesia group, but still inexcusable. In my opinion, it was the OB doc that was responsible as she continued to cut regardless of what the pt was screaming. Eventually, the general anesthesia kicked in and the c/s continued after a brief pause at the anesthesiologist's request. It was ridiculous.

I worked in L&D and GBS is a very common bacteria in the world of baby-havin'. It's a naturally occuring bacteria that can be found near the lady parts and could feasibly enter the urinary tract and cause a UTI. It is not an STD. The reason it is of more concern in L&D is because if a newborn becomes infected with the bacteria after being born lady partslly, it can cause complications such as sepsis. So, GBS+ mothers (MDs perform a swab around 37wks to determine a mother's GBS status) are treated with PCN prior to their water being broken (if possible). I've never heard of it being an issue for anyone other than newborns, but I don't see why it couldn't cause a UTI since it is a bacteria and is found in the nether regions. Anyway, no need to worry as it isn't anything to worry about other than the possibility of future UTIs. Hope this helps! Oh, and I was told that it is similar (or the same?) to the strep bacteria that causes strep throat. I don't know how accurate that is, but there must be some connection, hence the name.

I have lived in the Paris area my whole life, but have been living in the Houston area the last three years. From what I understand based on the opinions of people in the community, PRMC is not the best place to work as there is a lot of mismanagement and the company frequently sells (and we all know what a joy corporate changeovers are). I am moving back to the Paris area and was advised by just about everyone I know that works there or has worked there that I should apply elsewhere. I don't want to burst your bubble of hope, but I wanted to let you know what I knew. But then again, it IS all hearsay and I cannot speak from experience....
