Please forgive me if this is covered frequently! I tried searching but couldn't find much! I am getting ready to start my final year in the MSN Educator program (yay!!) and I'm trying to plan out life after school. My husband is a Navel Nurse Officer...

We are from CA as well! 8 hr shifts = yikes!!! 12 hrs is rough but I LOVE only working 3 days a week! Luckily we are both ICU people so hopefully this won't be an issue, but thanks for giving us a heads up!

Thank you for the responses! It doesn't say anywhere what certification test I would be taking so I sent off an email to the school! :) I also know that I can do a CNS type role in with any MSN (although some of the hospitals I have been looking out ...

My husband is getting ready to rejoin the Navy - he served 4yrs out of HS and he got his BSN after getting out. Although he is excited to get back into the "Navy family" I am a little scared (like most wives I'm sure!). He has 2yrs ICU/ER experience ...

We live in Southern California....and yes the rent prices make us sick! But they are better then the mortgage payments out here! Thank you for being honest!

I'm not assuming that things will be tax-free...the traveler I work with says she usually pays around 5-7K a year in taxes since she doesn't own a home. Still though at a 27K savings not having to pay rent....that is still a lot of $$. I was surpris...

I am going to be relocating to SD this summer and I'm trying to get an idea about jobs in the area! I currently work at a top rated Level III NICU in the area and I am looking for the same! From going through the posts I can see that these are the "b...

Thank you so much for the answers! It really helps hearing from someone who has experience (and isn't a recruiter that will tell you everything you want to hear!) :) I will pass your information on to my husband as soon as he gets back in town! Than...
