advice for young nurse

Published

Specializes in ER/Trauma/Critical Care.

Hey everyone,

I'll be graduating with my BSN in one year and am contemplating the vast number of options that are out there. I have considered moving to SF, California (b/c i have family there and love the area), joining the military and working for Indian Health Service.

I know there are pros and cons to all of these...for SF obviously the expense. A lot of people seem to think that i can not make it out there on a nurse's salary. Is this true? is it impossible to find a small apartment in the city that's affordable? And what about the military/IHS? If any nurses/new grads could offer any insite about good options for a new grad, I'd really be grateful. basically i am just looking for some excitement and adventure, as I am young, single and am tired of living in the boring midwest!!
