OT: Probably moving to FL in 18-ish months...

Thanks so much, Scott!! This is some awesome info...and Baldwin Park looks beautiful My next move was to start looking at nursing programs to see what's available. It would be a better move to get my RN before I leave NC- I don't want to wait 18mos. only to not get it here, and then start from scratch basically to find a job down there. And that means I'll definitely need a good BSN program once I get to Florida (I am definitely getting that Bachelor's!!).

Thanks for the advice about WDW too. I think that's my biggest (silly)fear about moving, is that it wouldn't be special if we went and didn't stay on property, didn't do the DDP, didn't plan it as a whole vacation experience, etc. I did have my suspicions though, that it would make it more special and hearing you say it does makes me feel better about it

Thanks so much again, Scott!!

It might be worth having a look at allnurses for info on nursing jobs in Fl, from what I gather it is extremely difficult for new grads to get employment at the moment

I'm experiencing the same thing as a CNA right now. No one will hire me because I don't have any experience, but how am I supposed to get any experience without someone hiring me??? I feel like Hercules when he first lands in Thebes: "How am I supposed to prove myself a hero if no one will give me a chance?" It's quite frustrating-but this too shall pass! (Too bad I'm not more patient!) Thanks for the site info, I appreciate it!

Its a good site which I read quite a bit, started using it during my ill faited attempt to get ATT for NCLEX via Arkansas BON
