I currently live in South Orange County, a little less than 10 miles from Celebration. The hospital is great. . . but if you're looking for a quiet place to live this isn't the area. Celebration is in the heart of the tourist area, traffic is horrendous and unless you live there the only way to access this area is by toll roads. Actually, any area in the Orlando, Kissimmee, St. Cloud region is very congested, lots of tourist and snow birds. Not an easy part of the state to live. . . lots of fun things to do, but not so easy to get around.

There is a wonderful book called "Dimensional Analysis for Meds" by Anna M. Curren - (purple cover with a picture of a syringe). This book saved my life during pharm. It takes you back to simple math, then helps you step-by-step work through all dosage calculation problems(i.e., I.V., peds, oral, syringe, etc.) I strongly suggest investing in this book and keeping it with you at all times until you feel comfortable in calculating any and all medication dosages. Not all facilities work with pumps. . . some are still using drip factor. Lots of luck.

I am seriously considering relocating to Missiouri after graduation in July. My desire is to work in a rural health, medically-underserved community. However, in my search for potential employment I've come up empty handed for any type of sign-on bonus or even relocation bonus programs in the Missouri area. Does anyone have information concerning how to find facilities that are offering these type of bonus'?
