Myself and my roommate are both nurses in Canada. Recently, we heard about Nursing in North Carolina... it sounds fantastic! We're both quite nervous though. Just wondering if there are any other nurses out there who've done this type of move before? What's it like nursing in the US? What's it like working for a private institution vs. a public healthcare system? What are health benefits like for nurses? Are there any pointers or tips you may have for us?
We're both relatively new in the profession, I've been working for two years in acute Neurosurgery and my roommate graduated this year and works at a local cancer centre. So, skill-wise, we're both very different... however both love surgery, aren't afraid of new things, and are very enthusaistic about the profession. We just figure if we're going to move and get out and try something new, we're better off doing it while we're young and relatively responsibility-free rather than wait it out when we may be involved or have important commitments.
Anywho, we're just both kind of nervous and would like to have some advice or information from other nurses or professionals who've been there.
