Oh Im definately looking into New York...I just recently planned on going there for New Year's Hopefully, I'll get the chance to visit some schools then. The only thing holding me back from New York is a "past" serious relationship I had...but Im sure by the time I transfer it wouldn't matter, so that's why Im just striving for what's best. Anyway, that's a little personal for the subject lol. Thanks though!

Sorry if I offended you or anyone, I was just replying to the one who quoted those words. Im not one to label, & yes I do agree that different places have different communication styles. Most believe that going further up north is more fast-paced whereas the south is a little slow-paced. But trust me, coming from a military town, I've met all kinds of styles lol.

Programs in NYC??

Well in that case...I'll look into Maine, too! I really dont mind change & different atmosphere. That's my whole reason of going out of state. Im young so I want to learn & experience:specs:

Thanks...I'll look into Maine, although I wasn't looking too far up north..? But, to put it frankly...Im a little nervous converting. I know how some people in the north are more "blunt & fast paced"...rude as some may call it...Im used to the "southern hospitality atmosphere"...the only family I have up north are the towards the midwest regions...& I've been in the city. It's not so bad; I can tolerate some rudeness & have patience...but should I be worried? Or what should I expect if I was to go to school up north...coming from the south??

Thanks for all the help and replies. It really does help...I will try and narrow down my search and contact colleges. Do you think it is generally more expensive up north than it is going to school in the south??

No, there is absolutely no problem with dreaming. And I say this because, honestly, NY is my dream too! Haha...I live on the east coast and love it. I have family in the nursing fields, both east & west coasts. Both love their jobs..so your questions goes far and between. It really depends where you work, what floor or field, and how you handle it. If you love the big city...expect more patients, work, and well...better pay even. Good luck!

Thanks! I was actually looking at John Hopkins but I think I was setting myself too high haha...school is beautiful but heard it was expensive & hard to get into..? I've been everywhere. I wouldn't mind living in the north, though. Me and the south have a love-hate relationship right now:lol2: Although I wouldn't mind Florida...I just don't know many good nursing schools & have been researching like crazy. Thanks, I will definately look into Maryland.

So pretty much...Im almost done with my Associates and Im looking for a good school to transfer to, to get my BSN. Im from North Carolina, born and raised, and plan to apply to a couple of schools in the state. BUT, I love the travel, visiting places...Im a small town, some-what country girl looking for big dreams in a big city. I've looked everywhere online...up and down the coast to look for a reasonable school to get into. I found this site and signed up...I figured it'd be helpful getting to know others in the same field and situation...so thanks and nice to meet everyone! Feel free to post or email me!
