You live in the Bahamas and want to leave? I question your sanity but anyway, there a a whole bunch of schools in every state in the US, pick the state you want ot live in while going to school and doi a search on yahoo, google , or your favorite search engine for nussing schools in that state. BTW you don't need to have a bsn to be a RN you can do a AD program. Either way after you get your degree you need ot take the boards, there again take them in the state you want to be employed in. Once you get tyour licenese, a few weeks after passing your boards post a resume' on line or send them directly to the hospitals, most states have a nursing shortage finding a job won't be a problem, cant see why you would leave the bahamas though, anyway, I would recomend that you stay as far away from NY state as possible, it's an aweful state to live or work in.

What type of place do you waht to live in for the next 2-4 years....that answer will help narrow down geographic area to be able to pick school of nursing.

Mountains....near the ocean. Big city....small college town....quiet country. Temps in 10'-20'F with 10 ft snow in winter or warm all year round ??

Come back with an answer and will tell you locations and schools of nursing.

OMGoodness! Could you find a job?! We would love to have you! I have heard rumors of schools footing the bill of your tuition if you work at their hospital for 3 years.

Choose carefully. The US is your oyster!

keshia26 · Mar 7, 2002

dawngloves, would you be able to provide me with the name of the schools that offer to pay tuition if one agrees to work for them for three years after graduation?

and nrsKarenrn i have decided that i need a warm climate with some ocean near by, in a medium sized city with great cultural offerings. i was thinking florida, or california, or even texas.

Try the Mississippi Gulf Coast! I love it down here. It's warm, you're right on the Gulf, there are several nice medium sized cities (Long Beach, Bay St. Louis), New Orleans and all its history is an hour's drive away, and there are several good 2 and 4 year degree programs in the area. Plus the cost of living is EASY on the pocketbook...

Just my two cents... :)

Email me if you'd like more info...

(Gosh I sound like a commercial, lol :) :) )
