I'm not a nurse (nobody's perfect). In our family that role is filled by my: wife, daughter, son-in-law, aunt, and cousin. While it is ture the wife unit and I met when I was a patient and she was a student nurse and that she's now a psych. nurse, I promise it was on an opthalmology ward (yes, that was many years ago--as in 1970). And just to finish the story, I was a wounded VN vet and she was engaged. The number one wife unit is now being considered for a position at South Florida State Hospital. We're aware it's a 350 bed psych facility that was recently privatized, given a serious overhaul, and that it's in Pembroke Pines--but little else. If you don't have any first hand knowledge, gossip will do. It's been my experience that the nurse's network has about a 99% validity rate. Also, since this would require relocation, any 411 on that neck of the woods would be appreciated. And a tip of the hat to all the Florida folks who take the time to share info with all us out-of-state posters. propatient
