I think I might be moving across the country for my first RN job...

Published

I live in the bay area in California and there are NO JOBS HERE! I graduated in May and have been looking like crazy with no luck. Everyone I know who is getting a job knows someone or has a family member working in the hospital. I decided I needed to take advantage of my cousin who is a MD. The catch is, he lives in Georgia. HR has called me and I think they are seriously considering me (probably only because of my cousin...). To add to it, I am a single mom of a 5 yr old boy who I will bringing with me. I am scared, but I want to start my career more than anything. I have never moved out of my parents house so my first time will be all the way to GA. Has anyone relocated for a job? How did it feel? Anyone nursing in GA? How is it? Whats the nurse/patient ratio? It is 5:1 here is CA for med/surg. I think it will be much higher in GA though. I just need some advice and would love to hear someone's story who has done this. Wish me luck. I am calling HR back in a couple minutes.

Just wanted to update everyone! I have lived here almost a year and a half and it has gone amazing! Love my job and I have an interview back home today! Thanks for all the advice and support
