Just graduated with BSN - Moving to SF

Published

I just graduated from the University of Missouri-Kansas City and am moving to San Francisco in July. I took a position at CPMC and am so excited for the big move. I fell in love with the spirit of the city in February and knew it is where I belong. I am nervous about beginning my career in a new city and would appreciate any pointers for new nurses in SF.

I look for apartments everyday online at craigslist.com, metrorent.com, and SFgate.com. It is an uphill battle because I am moving in 2 months and trying to find a place now. My best friend and I are moving together and we plan on sharing a small apt for the first year while we get settled into the new cost of living and city itself. Does anyone have any advice for the near future. I should probably include that I have two wonderful chihuahuas moving with me. I love them with my whole heart, but they make finding an apt even harder. They are adults and completely trained, but still it is tricky. It is getting near crunch-time and I really need to find a place to live. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I am so excited for this new adventure and cannot wait to hear some input. Thank you very much!

Look at www.rent.com. I have two Yorkies that always travel with me and did not have problems finding an apt that would take them. And I got an apt in just a few days, and moved.

Congrats on graduating! I just moved out here in oct. from Omaha (but I'm originally from KS and got my first degree from K-State) and didn't have much of a problem finding a place. I think it was relatively easy to find something on Craigslist. you just need to narrow down the area of the city you're wanting to look at and maybe invest in a hotel for a week so you can spend some time exploring and looking. It won't do much good to freak out until a few weeks before you get here b/c most things in CA that are good tend to get picked up very quickly. I wasted a lot of time freaking out about it before we moved out here and I coulda just relaxed a little and did my searching a few weeks before moving. Course you are getting close...yippee...it's great out here! you'll love it! PM me if you have more questions. what floor are you starting on at CPMC?
