Oh Sandy! That would be great. I live not too far from Leeds/Pell City area!

Thanks for sharing Beth! Nice photos! Gail

Hey girl, 18.00 an hour is great. I didn't make that when I left being an LPN in 2003. WOWWW. I've heard that when they hire you new at the hospital they offer more now and that's great. I know when I left one hospital and went to another they offered me more. It's kinda a great time to be a nurse...ya know??? Good luck, Beth P.S. I know that if you get a formal offer from one hospital and then go to Brookwood they will match the salary for you to come there if they have a job opening. Just thought I'd let you know. Brookwood isn't all the way in Birmingham either.

Hey Sandy, Well...as you can see I have had the dark brown hair and red hair...LOL Thanks for the compliments. I work for Brookwood Medical Center. They have good benefits...you can choose their medical plan through Tenet, I think it's underwritten by Aetna or BCBS of Alabama(whom I am fighting like a wild cat with). Other than WLS I think BCBS is great. They have Dental through Cigna, I haven't had any problem with, vision coverage, Long term and short term disability, flexible spending, ect...if you are interested in Brookwood they have a web site also. I don't know about Llyod Noland but I grew up in Bessemer....I don't want to dog any hospital here though...LOL I went to RN school with some girls who worked for UAB West. I think all hospitals will have some problems however so I won't lean you one way or the other. Good luck in whatever you decide. I do make pretty good salary where I am at. I guess all the Birmingham hospitals are about the same. Beth

thats cuz were smarter... .. now when we loose all the weight who knows what will happen, the world better watch out!
