I live in a small town in Vermont and have always worked in small, community hospitals. That makes a huge difference. I've worked in labor and delivery, nursery, pediatrics, same day surgery, gastroenterology, the OR, and currently work in an infusion room doing chemotherapy and filling in for our school nurses. I have loved every job I've ever had and I attribute most of that to the facilities I've worked in. It makes a huge difference to stay away from huge city hospitals, particularly if they are affiliated with a medical school.

When I move to TV (Please, God!), I will be hoping to work there. I toured the Hospice while I was there in October and that looked like a lovely place to work. It only has 12 beds! Of course, they don't have many employees, so getting a job there could be tricky.

Hope this is helpful and good luck to your friend.
