  1. Should I move halfway across the country to start my career?

    xoxJanexoxDoexox replied to Swgfan's topic in Nursing Career

    I wouldn't head down to Florida. A lot of us are struggling to find jobs. If you do end up down here avoid central Florida (Tampa/Orlando) and Miami. We do have a lot of hospitals but we also have a...

    xoxJanexoxDoexox replied to Abby481's topic in Nursing Student Assistance
