Hi, moving08. I am not yet a resident of E. TN, but will be in the near future and have spent a lot of time visiting the area around Knoxville. The towns suggested are all nice little towns and sound like just what you would be looking for.
I was born and raised 80 north of Carlisle, but spend several days there in town every Aug. It has changed so much over the years, along with other Harrisburg/Allentown/York area towns. Too bad.
But, topographically, E TN is very similar to that area and you will feel right at home - but, without all of the snow!
It seems to me that an LPN has so many options that you shouldn't have any problem getting a job, so you want that at the top of your list of things to do. With nursing homes, doctors' practices and several top-notch hospitals in the Knoxville area, there should be something for someone with experience. And, you would be close to hospitals and schools where you can go on to get your RN degree.
I hope you find everything you need in a new home - including someplace that will rent to you with your dogs.
Keep us posted on your upcoming visit. That is another must-do. Best of everything to you. You can see from all of these knowledgeable folks that you have a place to go to for information and help.
