Looking to relocate - Jacksonville or Miami

Specializes in Emergency Room Nursing.

Hello everyone,

I will soon be a new grad- May 21st in a BSN program. I am a Canadian nurse (LPN currently) looking to relocate to a sunny state. I was looking at larger centres in hopes of finding good medical centres... particularly teaching hospitals or hospitals with paid residency/preceptorships. I am looking to transition well into the RN role with guidance from this sort of program. I also am looking to get into a speciality... I'm interested in renal. Is there any teaching hospitals or hospitals with these types of opportunities? How hard is it to get trained in a speciality after a residency program? How desperate are these cities for nurses? How are they for living? I'm looking for a city with lots to do, a good amount of accommodations for a decent price r/t income. Also some insight as to how you've enjoyed/disliked living in these cities would be great!

And of course, I welcome particularly experiences from those either from Canada who relocated to the US or from a small town to a larger city!

Thanks.
