I wish I could say we were down there right now but do to my daugter's illness we won't be moving any time soon. We are still deciding between HH and Charlotte, NC. It's not bad when you consider with the money we will make here selling our house w...

Thanks for a terrific thread! This is great reading for those of us considering HH. You perform a great service... thank you!

I'm getting closer! I ws in touch with a pediatric home care agency and inquired about some visits and short sifts. It seems like a good way to get my feet wet and still be available for my daughter on her bad days of chemo. Any advice out there?

UoP is expensive, but believe it or not, they are running occasional specials. I signed on in August and got a free class tuition when I take 3 classes. So my tuition reimbrsement takes care of 2 classes, they give me one for free and I pay for one....

Bumping this post up so maybe someone will see it!

I am so happy to hear such great things about NC and Charlotte! We are moving down as soon as our house is ready and we can't wait! I am NICU nurse with 3 kids... 2,4,and 6, so I will look for you Fatima! :chuckle Kathy

Hey! I am a NYer too (Long Island) and am moving to the Charlotte area soon, Waxhaw to be exact. I am a NICU nurse looking for work so i'll be looking for some input here too.

I am so happy to see such positive postings about Phoenix Online! I will be starting September 6th and can't wait! I originally went through College Network and was going to to Excelsior, but FOR ME it is not structured enough. My friend did it that ...

I am so sorry you have to go through this... I was in your shoes 14 years ago (It still seems like yesterday) at the age of 49 and then lost my husband 4 years after that, and he had just turned 30. It is life altering and you will never forget the l...

Congratulations on a BIG move!! Don't be hard on yourself, trying anything new takes a while and most of what we do in NICU we never did in Nursing school! Give yourself some time to get acclimated to such teeny tiny equipment and whole new world! :)...

Ahhhhhhh, good to know. Thank you so much! I keep learning more and more around these boards! Thanks!

I have been a NICU nurse for almost 10 years now and we are relocating. I am trying to figure out the best way to go.... staff or travel....any input would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks!! If I don't have a "no fault "clause, what will happen if I go on staff?

Love this thread...I have a 2, 4 and 6 yr old and am considering Traveling when we relocate so I can get a better feel for the local hospitals.....never considered a summer of traveling!

I would love some of this info you have gathered! I have a few months to decide, but I would like to figure it out soon! Thanks!

Okay, am I more surprised by the 8 children or the traveling for years with a family?! You are an inspiration!!! :balloons: :balloons: :balloons:

Thank you! I'll be checking into it!

So it seems I'm not alone! Born and bred a NYer and now headed to the Carolinas! So what can I expect that the relocation brochures aren't telling me?! We will be visiting in a few weeks and hoping to be going down for good in 6-8 months. What can a ...

Thanks for the input!! I can't imagine things are more expensive there than here, unfortunately. The idea of no mortgage and living in a nice home with taxes under $10,000 is enticing though~ Two girls I work with are headed to Roanoke, VA within...

I too am a NICU nurse and am relocating to the Charlotte area!!! I'll be reading this thread carefully! Good luck and let me know where you end up!

Hi! We ae relocationg to Bluffton, SC and I understand Savannah is about 20 minutes away. I am a NICU nurse and looking for work in that area. Any insight into hospitals to try? To stay away from. Any insights into anything in that area would be grea...

I have been searching the internet for some books and info .... anyone have favorite NICU "handbook" they love? I really need to get current! I do work per diem about 2 shifts a month but would really like to update my knowledge base......anyone have...

Another Suffolk County NYer here!

Okay, have I mentioned how much I love this board?!!!! I recently got Handbook of Neonatal Care by Merenstein & Gardner. Our unit supplies Neofax to all the staff, sothat's one I have already. I also have the "Secrets" book as one of the authors...

How are you all? I am new to this board but have been a NICU nurse since 1994. My question is sort of general and I'm not sure this is the board to ask, but I am currently in the process of relocating to the Hilton HEad, SC/Savannah, GA area and was ...
