For Christie, Diane and

[Guest guest]

Hello Christie,

Where in Texas are you? I am in Fort Worth and work at Methodist

hospital(downtown). I know Texas is a big place... but still nice to know

there is someone from this group also here.

Diane,

I sent you a personal email the other day asking about Vanderbilt University

Hospital. Is this the Vanderbilt hosp in Nashville? Can you please share

whateve information, impressions, etc you have of the place? Who is your

doctor there? Is he any good? What is the the house like? How about

Nashville itself?

The reason I am asking, I have interviewed with them via phone and told to

expect an in person interview sometime after the first of the year. I am

not sure if I am up to making a long distance move, but it would be a good

career position for me. At the same time, I wonder if I should really be

pursuing advancing my career. I didn't go looking for this job. Had told

the headhunter I am not interested in finding another job at this time..

more interested in furthering my education (masters). But he thought I

should consider it because of the university environment.

No I am not a nurse. At I work in the finance department as a Sr

Financial Analyst/Database Specialist. Big title for *playing* on the

computer all day. The position at Vanderbilt will be training key personnel

(doctors, managers, VPs, directors, etc) on the use of the financial

software package we use here at and is being rolled out at

Vanderbilt.

So I would appreciate any information you are willing to share about the

hospital and Nashville.

Thanks!!!!!

,

I would like to extend my welcome to you. I too am rather new to this group

and as yet to not have an official diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis. I did

take a backseat for a while with this groups during hte later part of Oct

through about a week ago. Trying to get back into the swing of things

myself.

I have a feeling I will get the diagnosis at my next doctor's appointment on

December 20. My history includes gall bladder removal (stones), Nissen

Fundo surgery, 6 Endoscopies, 1 colonoscopy (polyps removed), 2 sigs (one

for bleeding after the colonoscopy), 1 ERCP with Spinctometry, passings

stone after gall bladder removal, chronic diarrhea, IBS, stomach motility

disorders, Esophagitis (4th grade ulcerations), hiatal hernia, bleeding

hemrroids, steat (too much fat in stools), and in the last 2 weeks have

started on Pancrease MT 10 to help with digestion. This is a partial list

of what my healthcare has been the past 2 - 3 years.

Please share your story and questions again. If I can, will try to answers

any questions you have, though I am sure others here would be much better at

it...

Hope everyone is have a GOOD day....

Lots of Hugs

ReeAnn
