Thinking of Moving Back....

U.S.A. Louisiana

I am originally from New Orleans but relocated to Texas due to Hurricane Katrina. I graduate from a BSN program in December and I am contemplating returning to Louisiana. Since New Orleans still isn't completely back to normal, I was thinking of moving somewhere close like Baton Rouge or Mandeville. Does anyone have any suggestions on any decent areas. I have kids so I need somewhere with a good school district and I need to find out about hospitals that hire new grads. Are there any good hospitals in Baton Rouge or the surrounding area?? Any input is appreciated.

Thanks, msjoseph

I live in Mandeville and I can tell you this is a great place for kids, there are many families here and the schools have a great reputation. I will just be starting nursing school in August so I can't really help with which hospitals hire new grads, but living here you will have a lot of options. It is an easy commute across the lake or to Slidell and you have St. Tammany Parish Hospital, Lakeview and the LA Heart Hospital as close employment options.

Let me know if I can help with any questions about living in this area.

Thanks for the response. I'll look up some of those hospitals online and PM you with any specific questions that I have. What nursing school are you attending?? I was in my first semester at LSUHSC before Katrina.

Thanks, Monique
