I'm accepted to, and plan on attending an accelerated nursing program in Kansas City in January, at a program I really like and am incredibly excited to attend. I've been taking pre-requisite courses for 2 years, and targeting this school specifically. My husband has been offered an amazing work opportunity in New York City, and this is extremely unexpected for both of us. It is kind of one of those things you can't really turn down. I am thinking of completing school in Kansas City, and then moving to New York when finished to look for work there. I am not extremely excited about us being apart for a year, but also do not want to put off attending school (it takes a year to get accepted to most programs). In addition, many accelerated programs in NYC are almost double the cost of the Kansas City programs. I am wondering, how realistic is staying in Kansas City? Will it hurt my chances at getting a position in New York, as most hospitals may not have heard of the school I am attending? I know that there are many teaching schools that hire new grads in KC, and my program has a 86% hire rate. Are things this promising in NYC? Thank you so much for any insights you can offer me, they are greatly appreciated.
