Hello, I too have just started working in the Abingdon area, I am a VA native that moved away 6 yr ago and have returned to care for my father who has been diagnosised with Cancer as well as my best friends husband who had been diagnosised with stage 4 breast cancer. I am currently working at Johnston Memorial and it seems like a nice place to work, and the people have been helpful to getting me settled in. I have been there for a month or. I have no idea if you have found employment but you may want to look there. No one in this pppart of the country seems to get a hurry in the hiring process,takes themm forever to get through all the steps. Guess the shortage here isn't as bad as elsewhere. Good luck, Sandie
