I do not live in snow country, thank goodness! I am one of those Southerners that, though I think it is beautiful, I cannot drive in it! If it snows, it is once in a couple of years, so that isn't too big of an issue. I have always lived somewhere that I had to drive to get to where I wanted to go. I grew up in the country, got a job in the big city, and miss my lifestyle before. Moving in the future is definitely an option, I would just have to wait for my hubby to find a job up there too. Both of our parents live around the area of the job, and I was wanting to move up there at some point before we start a family. I thank everyone for their input! I have an interview next week at a hospital that is a little closer, so I am going to weigh my options at that point. It is for the same specialty, so we will see how it goes!!! :)

If on call, I could stay with my best friend or my parents. They each live about 25 miles away. I appreciate all the feedback! I think the happiness level would improve a lot. I do not like med surg and I have roughed it out past my year. I come home crying a lot just because it is not what I want. I knew during rotations I was meant to do ob or peds. I think this is the answer to prayers.

Just want some input. Would you rather commute a little over an hour (50 miles) to a job that is in the specialty that you want to make a career out of or stay at a job where the commute is short (15 minutes or about 10 miles) but you don't like the job? I was offered an L&D position, which I will love. I haven't been able to transfer at my current place of work. I have over a years experience med-surg, and I have definitely had my fill of it. I have learned a lot and I am thankful of it, but I am not happy for multiple reasons. I just worry about the effect of the commute on my relationship.

I'm the same way. I will study beforehand and then go in there and forget what I just read, just because I am so nervous. Good luck to you!!!!

I'm in for Fall 09!!!
