Thank you for your response.

Can I ask what part of NC do you live in. Are you close to a major airport? In my position I cover the eastern US ......am thinking of relocating to NC, love the New Bern area but no major airports.

Thank you for your reply!

I use to drive 10 mi and it would take 15min...that same drive today takes almost 40min...times have changed! My preset position is mainly traveling so I may be in a car or on a plane...just depends on which is more practical and faster. Sometimes I can drive faster then flying, due to the issues with airlines.

Thank you for responding so quickly! I understand that many hospitals are using electronic charting but many are still not up to speed on this.

Please, do you have a simple to the point flowsheet you use with CRRT? Thank you!

This is just my personal opinion: I have traveled through the US for the past 14 years as a consultant for a global company doing educational programs for RN's. Virginia would be my first choice to relocate for a nursing position for several reasons, one being the climate, also the economy is in decent shape, and is centrally located on the east coast and an easy drive to the DC area. Having been at all the Sentara Hospitals in the Va. Beach, Hampton and Norfolk areas I found the hospitals administration of high standards related to patients and staff. Roanoke is another area, not as easy to get in and out of as the airport is small, however I did enjoy the hospitals. My personal choice is Winchester VA. the Hospital is well positioned financially. The nurses were of high caliber, and were treated very well by administration. The ICU's are very busy, well staffed and state of the art equipment! Again these are my assessments and personal preference. I would suggest if you plan on relocating to VA. Winchester is a must to visit. Winchester is an area that is growing but still has that old town feeling with the historic districts and tree lined street neighborhoods. Good Luck, and congratulations!
