RN Job opportunities in Burlington/Montpellier?

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
I live in Northern Wisconsin and my husband and I are thinking about relocating to Vermont. My husband went to Sterling College and loved it there. The economy here is terrible, so the main concern with moving is whether I will be able to find a job. I am an RN with only 3 years of experience. My husband owns a music store, but does most of his business online, so he could live anywhere. He is also a musician, and I'm wondering if there is a live music scene in Burlington. We have a 2 1/2 year old, so I'm also wondering about good daycare/preschool. I saw on the Burlington Chamber of Commerce website that they're trying to start a children's museum. Any news about that? I am a breastfeeding, non-vaccinating, liberal mom, but still like a good mall with a department store with a make-up counter and shoe department! Any good shopping nearby or do you have to go to Boston?
I would love to hear from anybody, but especially people who are new to Vermont. thanks!

I'm not an RN, but looking into going to nursing school. From what I can see, there are plenty of openings in nursing around here

You may want to check out:
Gifford Medical Center in Randolph
Fletcher Allen in Burlington
Central Vermont Medical Center in Berlin

Fletcher Allen (in Burlington) has nursing positions, just not hiring new grads this year I've been told...

www.fahc.org

Plus there are nursing homes that offer the Baylor program, the VNA etc. if you're looking for out of hospital nursing jobs.

Plenty of shopping!
This is the downtown shopping center...(also check out the links under EXPLORE)

Plus the University Mall...

Here's a popular live music scene...

I couldn't tell you much about schools/daycares...we live just north of Burlington and don't use daycare. I know there's a lot to choose from...South Burlington/Shelburne/Essex school systems all have really good reputations. Good luck!
