Need Information About Charlotte

[twinkle]

I live in the Ft. Lauderdale, FL area (was born and lived in S. FL almost my whole life) and I'm really looking into to moving to Charlotte, NC. My husband and I are renting and real estate is SO expensive here that I don't know if we'll ever own anything (3 bedroom starter homes in a decent area start at $350,000+). Is Charlotte nice and could I get a nice three bedroom house for around $150,000? Also my husband is Hispanic - do you think he will feel comfortable in Charlotte? We are used to a very multi-culteral atmosphere. thanks for any advice!

I am wondering if I move to NC as an LPN is there a fast way for me to get my R.N? Would it be better to just go straight for my RN? Im set to start an LPN program here in AZ but it's $7500.00. I checked on the schools there and the R.N program was in the $9000.00 range. Trying to decide which is the better route. How difficult is it to get into one of these R.N prgrams out there????

I am also curious about this- how is the LPN to RN route in NC? Would it be easier to just go for the RN degree?

I never looked into LPN before, but as a newly divorced single mom I'm thinking it would be better to have a steady job sooner rather than later.
