I will be moving to Seattle next month. I am a current local travel nurse in my home state and am looking to travel there to secure a job and housing beforehand. In the past few weeks, not much has opened up as far as travel opportunities in the Seattle area. So I panicked and started applying for staff positions. I have interviews for both this week and am unsure which route to go with. Travel nursing would give me the opportunity to have housing set up before I move, yet since this is a permanent move, I would then have to look for a permanent staff position anyways after my contract ends. HELP!

Where are the other two? Just curious.

Thanks! I'm new to this haha he does have a BSN. That's our back up plan if it doesn't work out at first. We're still keeping our fingers crossed though í ½í¸¬

I already received my CA license and he's working on his right now. We've done some research and saw there are new grad residencies available in select hospitals. Any idea how difficult it would be to get in one? Thanks for commenting!

That's exactly the reason why I'm leaning towards traveling first, it'll be a much easier transition. Thanks for your input!

Help guys! I'm torn. My boyfriend and I are moving to California in May. Not sure what part of CA just depends on where he gets a job since he is a new grad. I am currently with a travel company as a med surg nurse. So my question, should I get a travel assignment out there first and then look for a staff position since I want to make the transition to critical care OR just look for a staff position right away as soon as I figure out where we're going? I'm not sure how difficult it would be to look for a job across country and changing specialties at the same time. Would love to pick your brains! Thanks in advance!
