How do I Relocate NOW????


Hey y'all!
This new grad has a huge impetus to vacate immediately!

Bills, bills, bills! I am sure you can all relate to that. ;>)

But I have never relocated in all my years out of state with such an imperative on time and interview(s)

Here's my dilemma:
I want to relocate out of state (I'm in GA, but want New England or westward)
I'm a new grad. Licensed just this August w/ RN-BSN, and only about 10-ish weeks of orientation on a high acuity, Onc/Renal unit that was very chaotic, and stressful; just quit yesterday morn, albeit on Good terms.
I was hoping to get my niche in Women's Healthcare, but took Onc for the experience; BIG mistake!! Hated it. Was mostly renal and wound care and I had almost no involvement w/ Onc care of these pts.
I don't know how to get ahold of recruiters and interview out of state.
I just lost medical insurance when I quit and many specialists to see in next 2 weeks

How do I start the out of state process??????? I need to locate hospitals and recruiters and find out if they are hiring first off. How do I begin this? Why am I so naive after all my years? STRESS! I'm sure that's it. Confidence? Probably that too. Nothing like being told for so many weeks that I was incompetent, slow, etc...Hope this hasn' t broken me.

Scared and alone,
Chloe,
RN-BSN, BA

First off, your medical should be good through the end of the month.

Secondly, MAZEL TOV!

Thirdly, where are your folks? Cousins? Someone on whom you can crash?

Living w/ folks now, since I was the victim of a home invasion this summer; They are reliant upon me to give them rent. They need my income as well as I do.

My relatives are new to NC and I have a bro in OHIO (not a fan of their weather). I still really like and favor the NE.

Mazel Tov to you as well my friend.

Well, you could come stay here but there's nuthin'.

No other possibilities where you are? Not even a nursing home night shift to give you some time to get over the arse-whuppin' and get a year on your resume?

NO way!! I'm done w/ GA. Never did quite fit in here. Need to relocate for sure. This must be my blessing in disguise.

And fr the threads I've read here, the N.H.'s would surely kick my butt and risk my license

Keep the thoughts comin! (how come no jobs where you are? )

Fewer people in the entire county than my old BLOCK, let alone hospitals.
