Anyone move for an ABSN program? Is it worth it?

Hi everyone this is my current situation any advice is welcomed.

I am orginally from Massachusetts and finished my bachelors degree in health science. Massachusetts has many ABSN programs that I plan on applying to. However there is a problem me and my husband moved to Washington state when he was in the military a few years ago. Washington was his last duty station and we planned on moving back to Massachusetts once he was finished. He got an amazing job offer in Seattle and we decided to stay so he could get work experience and then once I get accepted into a program we will move back. I am stressed about this process because if I do get accepted everything would have to fall into place in order for me to attend the program. Has anyone moved for an ABSN program? If so how did you do it? Did the school inform you of your acceptance ahead of time ? I am scared if my husband cant transfer his job right away where i would be able to stay? Also Washington state doesn't have many ABSN programs only UW has it. The rest of the nursing programs in Washington are ADN programs.

    I did not move for an ABSN program but i am starting an ABSN program in Massachusetts this May. I know a lot of students in my cohort are moving into the city before the program starts from other cities and states... I know a girl coming all the way from CA. If I were you, I would just apply and go from there. However I would try and map out when you would ideally move back to MA so you know which term to apply for (i.e. Summer 2020 vs. January 2021, etc). It wouldn't hurt to apply, and then just cross that bridge when you get there!!

    Also a lot of students moving into Boston from outside of MA are coordinating with other students to find apartments. You also could definitely find somewhere to sublet for the time being until your husband moves here with you. Don't worry!
