Suggestions for health care systems for RN to work? (Manchester: daycare, home)

[nene70]

I am looking for suggestions for hospital systems with good reputations to work as an RN. I am currently not working much as I still have one little one at home. I would love to find a place that has a daycare within it if one exists. I really look forward to being a nurse again. I feel like I've been on too long of a hiatus...may need to take some refresher courses...LOL!

Oh, it would be helpful to people in NH to know WHERE I would be looking...we would be possibly living in the southern NH area (ie. somewhere near Hollis, maybe as far north as Amherst)...of course this is if my husband gets a job at Ft. Devens, MA. Thanks!

Do you have a specialty that you'll be looking to get back into? Elliot Hospital is based in Manchester, and has one of the few Level 3 NICU's in NH. My nephew was born at 25 weeks gestation, and today is a healthy little boy thanks in part to the excellent care from Eliot. In addition to the hospital, they run VNA services, and an acute care center in Londonderry. Here are a couple of their webpages:

Elliot Hospital - About Us: About the Elliot Hospital (http://www.elliothospital.org/about_us/index.html - broken link)
Elliot Health System Home Page
Elliot Hospital - Services: Medical

You might also look into Catholic Medical Center (CMC) in west Manchester. CMC is the home of the New England Heart Institute, and they are considered THE place to go for all cardio issues:
CMC - New England Heart Institute

Nashua is home to Southern NH Medical Center and St. Joseph Hospital. You're on your own with getting info on these 2 but here are some web pages to help you out:
Southern New Hampshire Medical Center (SNHMC) - Welcome

Happy Hunting!

Thank you Valerie! I will definitely look into all of these hospitals! As for a specialty, I'm pushing 40 and I don't know what I want to do when I grow up!! LOL...all kidding aside, my prior experience is oncology/hematology, OB (most of my experience), and infusion therapy/IV team (what I am currently doing part time). I haven't decided if I want to get back into OB (maternity/Labor & delivery) or do something completely different (I've often thought home health would be nice, but up north that could be a challenge in the winter at times). Thanks again for all the info...I will be doing some research :-)
