Yes, I have heard nothing but good things about the area! Low 20s is not what I was hoping for in salary, unfortunately, but I would have to do the math on cost of living vs salary to see how it...
For what it's worth, I also have non clinical experience (more in the case management and sales arena); I might be looking for a job that utilizes those skills rather than a floor nursing position,...
We are considering a move to either Raleigh-Durham or Charlotte. I'm curious what the job market is like in these areas. I have some hands on and also some sales/case management skills. I am enrolled...

Thanks, hiddencat. I actually started taking courses at a private college when I was about 15 (long story, but I was taking them while in high school), but I didn't find her comment offensive. It...
