Howdy! I live in Clarksville. Tn. I worked at St Thomas Hospital in Nashville. Great place to work...just too labor intensive for me now that I'm getting up in the years. You'll not find a friendlier place to live than Clarksville or the surrounding area and I have lived quite a few places in the past. St Thomas is a great place to work, has great patient/nurse ratio's. Most of the ppl there are straight up and go out of there way to make you feel like part of the caregiving family. Call Jan Holder, she is the nurse manager for the float pool in which there are full time positions, if you need the bennies, or prn positions of all kinds. The pay is competitive with the surrounding hospitals and btw there are 4 hospitals in Nashville. You may find Nashville a bit expensive, but if you live outside of Nashville, like Clarksville or Ashland City or someplace like that, its significantly cheaper, and very very pretty in most areas. Call Jan and tell her Wendy sent you, 615 222 6624 (staffing office) I don't work there anymore due to birth defect in upper back and age has gotten me...sigh...but I used to for almost 12 yrs and rec it highly!

Bariatric Unit??!! Yikes, I hope they are very very good at having the proper equipment at hand for the care and repositioning of those patients. I wonder what the employee injury rate will be...would be interesting to see. I float to most of the floors that are short staffed, on one unit there were five nurses on light duty!! THAT IS AN INDICATOR!!! I, for one, am NOT MIGHTY MOUSE!!!!! LOL
