Moving to Arizonia

I just don't like the weather, and I don't like finding scorpions in my house. Apparently that is a normal occurence here....

I live in Phoenix and I can tell you that the job market for RN's here is not good. I have sent out countless resume's and applied at all of the local hospitals. It seems that you can only get considered for a nursing position if you have previous experience. I am a foreign trained nurse with 4 years experience, passed NCLEX and Toefl, so I recieved my nursing license for Arizona, but there are just no jobs available.......

I've lived here 29 years and have never had a scorpion in my house Although it might be a normal occurrence in some parts of the valley (newer/underdeveloped areas).

To the OP I ditto what the others say about having a job in hand first.

Hard to believe, but it is a normal occurrence in some parts of the valley. I have lived here almost 50 years and never had a scorpion in the house until I bought my current house. I have lived in this house almost 15 years and the whole neighborhood has them. I am at a base of a mountain. Scorpions like mountains.

I hear that the Anthem area has many indoor scorpions also. New construction stirs them up.

Exterminators don't kill them - they just slow them down to a drunken haphazard crawl so you can smash them easier. I couldn't even begin to count the number I have smashed!

Hi Pakie27, im going to take my toefl exam soon but i am not prepare yet......is it hard? i would appreciate if you can pm me and give me some tips about taking exam in TOEFL. Thanks!
