Thanks for the info. Our other backup would be moving back to Seattle. The only problem is I would have to be gone for 6 months of training and Seattle is REALLY EXPENSIVE!!!

Ok, I guess I will give a little back round info first. I am not a nurse and will never be one, but my significant other is about to graduate with her BSN. I am very proud of her and she has worked so hard to get it. Anyway I am here to find out some info since she seems to be confused... Anyway, I finally got accepted into a flight school in the Vero Beach/Port St. Lucie area in Florida and am almost ready to fulfill my life long dream of being a professional pilot. This is something I have been working towards my whole life. Ok, so since I got accepted into the school we will need to move down there in a little over a month as soon as the wife graduates. My concerns are that we have called most of the hospitals in the area and none of them seem to have the same needs and programs for her as they go here in Valdosta, GA. My wife's ultimate goal has been to become a nurse anestatest (think I spelled that wrong). So she wants to work in the ICU as soon as practical. Here in Georgia they have many hospitals offering bonuses and training programs aimed to get her into the ICU within a year or so. Down in Florida they have pretty much laughed in her faced when she inquired about the same type of training programs. So, now she doesn't want to move and I can't blame her at all. She has worked for this for a while and I see no reason for her to be miserable after sacrificing these years of school. So is there anything I should know? Is there less of a need for nurses in Florida? My wife seemed to think that it wouldn't be difficult to find a training program for the ICU, but now we are on a tight rope. I don't want to make her move somewhere that she will be stuck on a med surge floor for ever. I know she will have to do her time, but still. I am extremely sorry for the long post, but I figured I needed to give backround... Thanks, Chris
