I live in Elmira, NY apx 15 miles West of Sayre. That's a great hosp. Also nearby is Arnot Ogden Med Center in Elmira. Ithaca, NY is apx 40 miles NW. Binghamton, NY apx 40 miles E. Watkins Glen apx 30-40 miles NW. Of course the Finger Lakes & wineries are nearby. Wellsboro PA is beautiful, "Home of the PA Grand Canyon". Corning, NY apx 40miles W. It would be easier to describe if I knew what area you are in now, but I think it's a beautiful area; Especially in the Fall, lots of countryside.

I have worked for RPH for a long time - have also worked other hospitals in the area. I would be happy to talk with you about work and the area. It is beautiful here. Easy access to cities - you can live in the country easily. Not alot of traffic to deal with. Kind of the best of both worlds. RPH is a progressive, teaching environment. Lots going on! Also a Magnet hospital. Remail me if you need more info!

Thank you. I really want to work in NICU or ICU. I possibly want to be a CRNA one day. Does Robert Packer offer a good tuition reimbursement program?
