Relocating question

Nurses Career Support

Published

Hello all :)

So I currently live in Indianapolis, IN. Next week i have a few interviews in Atlanta, GA. I was wondering if you guys knew around how long most jobs generally give you to relocate? My mother who is also a nurse told me two weeks. That absolutely will not be enough time for me. I know December is probably super pushing it, but that would be amazing!

My interviews start 9/11-9/13.

What do you guys think? Thank you!

When I moved from Ohio to Arizona, I told them I can do it in 6 weeks and that wasn't a problem. They were willing to extend it to 8 weeks if needed. When I moved from Arizona to Texas, I told them I could do it in 4 weeks and again that wasn't a problem. They also offered to extend it if needed.

This will be something to discuss with your HR recruiter, although it may be brought up in the interview. 2 weeks is not reasonable because you are going to need to get your nursing license in the new state and that's not going to be accomplished that quickly.

Thank you

When I worked in Texas, I worked with a lot of new graduates from out of state. A new graduate orientation was started once a month. If everything wasn't in order by one start date, the new hire was pushed back to the next start date.
