10 months of experience

Why not secure a job in Philadelphia? You know you're moving to Philadelphia... is there a reason you don't move there now and look for work?

It just kinda looks bad, that you knew you were getting married but took a job you knew you would leave in less than a year.

Unless the NICU is cool with this arrangement, then by all means do it! and congratulations (on marriage and new job)

She may have not known that she was getting married. I met my hubby and we were married in much less than a year. Mind you I am pretty religious and 4 month courtship is the norm for us.

So reason I didn't leave now is because we don't get married until June 2016 and our wedding will be in Utah, so I am staying here to plan the wedding, spend these last months with family (no family or friends in Philadelphia), and also I did clinicals and capstone experience at the hospital that I am going to work at so it is a great place for me to get my first experience at. I am willing to stay in Utah for the full year if it will increase the chances of me finding a job easier in Philadelphia. side note as well everything happen so fast, my fiance got into medical school at about the time I was doing my capstone experience and deciding where I wanted to work, then he proposed, and then in a month he left.

Stay for the full year. After you marry then start working on you PA license. While you visit go ahead and get to know the city and get a list of hospitals close enough to work at.

I think that is what I am going to do, even though it hurts to be apart for so long. Thanks for your help.

Definitely stay for a year or longer. Consider applying to CHOP.
