I moved from a high cost of living, high tax area to Texas and I have never looked back. The housing savings alone made up for the tiny initial pay loss, but the lack of income tax and growth down here has already put me above where I was in Boston. Dallas is a growing area with abundant reasonable housing and opportunities for nurses as well as good schools in the suburbs. Also...it's not Jersey.
I agree, its so super saturated up here. There are no openings for training nurses to another speciality because there are plenty of every kind of nurse. I'm looking anywhere that can train me and I can stay, get my experience at a hospital, then move to GA (I'm looking here too) to settle down with the kids. I also am looking for RN residencies that will except nurses that are not recent grads.
That is enlightening. Thank you for letting me know. I have an online interview with them tomorrow. Please message me at LinkedIn. http://linkedin.com/in/jennifer-r-bridges-71367b58

I am a recent RN, I have 5 months acute care (ICU, tele) and 1.5 years of home health. I want to leave home health and go into Mother Baby, however recruiters tell me no Mother Baby/LDRP units will hire me because I don't have 1 year of experience in acute care. MCDWH is opening in April 2018 and they say they are hiring RNs with no Mother Baby experience. I am willing to move my family of small children from NJ to Dallas if it is worth it. Does anyone work at the main hospital or Children's hospital? Any advice on the following:
- how to get a job there?
- how to negotiate a salary / relocation package, housing assistance?
- How are the employee benefits and childcare?
- What is the employee/hospital culture, how is the work environment?
- Is this a once-in-a-lifetime type of opportunity?
Thank you for any feedback.
