relocating ?


My husband and I are thinking of relocating to TN next summer. Or possible somewhere else up north where they actually have a change of seasons instead of the hot, hotter, hottest that we have here in FL. My question is can anyone tell me approx. how much an LPN earns and what the job market is like, also the cost of living?
Thanks,

Default Re: relocating ?
Depends on what type of LPN you are. The ARMY pays more for civillians than than civillian world does here in Clarksville. You do need 1 year LPN experience to get hired with them. Most people in Clarksville choose to work in Nashville where the pay scale is a bit higher. A typical nice 3 bedroom home here runs about 750 average a month. And gas is slightly under $4 right now...lol. Hope this helps some.
