Advice: From Ontario to BC (BC Children's)

Hi,

I'm here for some advice:

I'm going to be an Ontario new grad as of June 2009. I currently have a job offer for a full-time permanent position at BC Children's Hospital in their NICU. They offer relocation assistance of up to $5,000 and they pay for the training required for me to be able to work in the NICU (tuition plus hourly wage). Also included in the relocation assistance is a company which will find a temporary accomodation for you (one month upon arrival - the rent for the one month is also included in the relocation assistance). They require a commitment of 12 months. These are the perks. The downside is that a) it's a long move for me and b) my dad is not very supportive of it.

As for my Ontario job opportunities - they all seem to offer the New Grad Initiative but offer no guarantees of employment after 6 months. (The New Grad Initiative is a program funded by the Ontario Government which allows new grads to have 6 months of full-time orientation to any specialty of their choice. Hospitals apply for funding and if they are approved they can hire new grads and they receive funding). With the economy I don't suppose I'll find anything more permanent. I've interviewed in a few positions (in NICU and ER). I've turned down one job opportunity in ER because they hire 16 new grads per intake (what kind of support am I going to get when it's all new grads?). Other than that I've received one more job offer which I'm not going to take (don't like the hospital or the unit). And I know another hospital is contacting my references.

Basically I'm just very apprehensive about this. I'm scared and nervous of the move . I'm frustrated because my parents are helping. For example, I told my mom I was going to send off the contract today and her response "are you sure you've made up your mind?"...

Anyway, advice? Anyone? Thanks . Anyone in the same shoes?
