I'm following this thread as I appreciate any advice in this topic... I am also planning on moving to NC in the next few years and appreciate anyone's advice. I live in Western NY currently and am downright tired of this ridiculous state and that's saying a lot since I've lived here my whole life (29 years) and it's all I know. My cousin who is also an RN lives in Raleigh and works at Duke in the NICU, she's already prepared me for the cut in pay but also assured me the cost of living/housing is significantly less than here in WNY. My background is 1 year of experience on a med/surg orthopaedic floor, 2 years in acute psychiatric inpatient, and I've just recently started in home health care. I'm hoping to spend a year or two in this position as a home health nurse, get comfortable in the home care setting, and then move down to NC and work in home health there. The Asheville area sounds really nice, I'm actually going down to visit family in NC next weekend, maybe I'll swing out that way and check out that area :-)
