??? about Palm Beach county might move

U.S.A. Florida

Published

I live in Cincinnati Ohio and I am in my last year in nursing school. Graduation date July 06 I will stay here to finish my schooling. My husband has been working in West Palm Beach for the past two months (they fly him home on the weekends) now they want to offer him the Job. We don't know what the full package will offer (time in the company apt, amount for moving expense, etc) but the raise is $23K.

New nursing grads in Cincinnati make about $18-19 shift diff is about $4. What is the pay for new grads in palm beach county? What are the hospitals down there? I have looked at the Memorial Healthcare Systems website. Does anyone have any infomation about them? How is the cost of living there. I have looked at websites that conpare cost of living in different cities and they say there is just a $10K difference between the two cities. How is the school system. I just need as much infomation as you all can give so we can make an informed decision.

everything is cheaper preconstruction. if you call a real estate office or look on the internet you may be able to find something. basically you can buy things for cheaper before or while they are being built but then once they are finished the prices go way up. for example: less than a year ago they were selling town houses down the street they started preconstruction about 200 and then prices started going up slowely before they were even finished now they are close to 300.

Pinky, St. Mary's in West Palm is awesome! Wonderful people in every department, and you will get lots of experience. FL weather is shorts weather year 'round, but summers are hot and muggy - imagine walking out of a shower.....

Pay is $20/hr and certain hospitals will give you a sign-on for an 18 to 24-month committment.

Now here's the bad news - housing is $$$ and you will not get much. Homeowners' insurance is either high or unobtainable. School system is terrible, both public and private. You also have to be VERY careful about the areas in which you move. The areas change quicker than you can blink an eye.

I am a transplant to FL myself. Feel free to PM me, and I'll be happy to provide a good realtor (we had to go through 3 before we found someone HONEST. He was recommended to us by another nurse.) Good luck to you!!
