Any Lewisburg, WV residents?
Do you like Lewisburg? How is the Greenbrier Valley Medical Center? Would an RN have any problem making ends meet there?

I don't live there but I think Lewisburg is a great little town. It's cute and the people are very friendly. I worked for a non-profit and had a lot of dealings with GVMC - I've never heard anything negative about it. Of course, it probably would not come close to CAMC in Charleston, WV.
Not sure where you are from but - the area is rural. Although, The Greenbrier (world famous luxury resort) is in the area. It's about an hour to a (for WV) large town (Beckley), 2 hours to Charleston, WV. Not sure how far to Covington, Va - don't think it is very far.
RN making end's meet? My guess is you would be in one of the higher paid careers in the area.

According to Google Maps, it's about half an hour from Lewisburg to Covington, VA.

my wife and I lived in Lewisburg from 2003-2005 while she was going to the O school there. It is a nice little town, with a real small town feel. There isnt much in the way of convienences unless you want to go to Walmart or a few other small store, anything else you have to drive to Beckley or Ronoake. I did some of the landscaping around to new wind of the hospital and from what I could tell, its seems like a nice place, and is prob the biggest facility between Ronoake and Beckley.
