move getting closer and still no job

Wow, I can't believe that in about a month I will be in Las Vegas. My husband and I decided several years ago that we would move when I finished nursing school. So, in December I finished nursing school and we started saving for our big move. I thought I would have a job lined up by now due to the extreme nursing shortage. I have had a phone interview with sunrise hospital and it sounds promising. My other big concern right now is finding a place to live without having a job lined up for either me or my husband.

If anyone has any advice it would be greatly appreciated.

Just wanted to wish you luck on the move. Sometimes we just have to take that leap of faith. Blessings to you.

are you planning to move to an apartment or a house? or renting a house?

also...if your husband does not a have a job for the time being...i recommend him going to an employment agency....theres many Apple One agencies in Vegas....if not, ManPower....they can usually get him a job right away.....

it will provide some income till u get a job...they offer many jobs that start at least $9-10 an hr...it isnt much.....but to work in hotels...a lot of it is through connection....

one more thing...are you an experienced nurse or a new grad? lots of new grads r having a hard time finding jobs because hospitals can only hire so many per yr...or sometimes, they dont have a new grad program at all.

We are planning on moving to an apartment. We have started working with a company that helps find housing for people relocating. So far, I am waiting for information from cielo apartments so I can fill out an application.

I graduated in December and have been working on an ortho/neuro floor since January. I had an interview at Sunrise over the phone for a position on their neuro floor. I called yesterday and left a message with the nurse manager, but have not heard anything back yet.

Thank you for taking the time to reply and for the advice. I am trying to relax and keep thinking that it will work out. This is where we want to live and are determined to get there.

ok things are finally coming together. I was offered a position at Sunrise Hospital on their ortho/neuro unit. This works well, since I have been in ortho/neuro in Wisconsin. I feel like a big weight has been lifted off my shoulders. We even have a place to live. Now we just need to wait for August to come for the big move.

:yeah:
