GN Moving Back to PA From FL

I have made the decision to return to my home state of PA (I left PA for FL five years ago) after graduation in 2005. As a GN with no experience, will there be a problem finding employment? Does PA thumb its nose at Florida graduates? The quality of care was wonderful in the Philadelphia and surrounding areas before I left - I'm afraid they will not wish to hire a Florida-trained nursing graduate. What do you think?

Kristin -- Seriously doubt you'll encounter any probs getting a job here in PA.

Good luck!

Larry - I needed to hear that, many thanks!!

Teeit - why did you say that? Because of PA or because a new GN will have a tough time?

I can definitely echo what Larry said. There are plenty of job openings in my area outside of Philadelphia-- I'm sure there are inside Philly, too.

Great news, RN!! I love and miss PA - can't wait to go back!

I said because Ive been in Pa during the winter and it id cold there, Im just a warm weather type who likes to golf all yr round.

I dont like snow I dont like ice and I dont like being cold.

I like not having a single dold weather coat in my wardrobe, a few sweaters is all.

Hee! Okay Tee - BTDT! I agree, but had to make a decision between the people and the weather. The people won. We have a code name for South Florida - New York South :)

May be true, but I have to admit as a person who goes to fla from texas regularly, That I love seeing thong bikinis in january at the beach. You wont find that in Pa, nor nice luscious green golf courses.

Okay, you got me there but since I'm not a thong-watcher, I won't be deprived :) However, PA has the coolest people in the world and I'll enjoy not getting shoved and pushed. People seem to lose their manners when they enter South FL.

No one thumbs their noses at nurses, or GNs. We are all in critical need. Please come "home"
