Hi, I am currently a certified wound care nurse at a major hospital in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area. I really love my job since making the switch from med-surg. However, I have a few issues:

1) I am single co-parent of a 3 yr old, with limited support and daycare.

2.) My strongest support, my mom recently moved to Hawaii.

3.) I have only been at this job for about 6 months- but I feel limited by lack of the wound care and ostomy products available for use.

4.) I feel like I could be traveling and making more money in Hawaii, if I moved w/ my mom for 3-6 months. I have to work multiple jobs at the moment to make it with the bare necessities.

What would you guys do if you were me? Wait a few months to gain more experience? Or tough it out?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Kee
