considering move to oregon? - Page 4

As long as no one pronounces the state like "Ora-GONE." That drives me insane. I remember seeing a shirt long ago that had OREGON really big on it, with the pronunciation key under it. LOL

Arawn, we're also considering a move to the Portland area ... I'm from Oregon originally, and have family and friends in Portland. It'll just come down to the logistics of moving a household of me, husband, four cats and a bazillion books across the country. Yikes

I've seen some job postings on various hospital sites that offer hiring bonuses and relocation pay. I'll look into that once I have at least a year of experience as an RN! Has anyone known anyone who took advantage of deals like that? I'm sure there's usually a minimum time commitment involved; just wondering how much they might pay, typically.

Not sure if you're still interested, but there's the state psych hospital in Salem if you're looking for mental health. It's not far at all to the south of Portland.
