I want to live in the suburbs, but make good money.I don't mind the commute as long as its feasible. I have two children and I want them to go to good schools. Are Towson and Catonsville considered the suburbs?

I wanted to say thank you to everyone for all of the help. I'm also checking housing prices in the area and your posts are very helpful. Does anyone know what the pay rate is for a new RN at JHH? In S. FL there is a major nursing shortage, some hospitals even give signing bonuses, is it the same in MD?

My husband and I would like to move to Maryland. We're doing all of our research and we're also planning a trip to check out different areas. Can someone help me with finding the best area? By the time we move I will be an RN and my husband is a English teacher. I heard that John Hopkins pays very well but its in Baltimore and the area is not safe. I have two small children and safety is very important. Where can I live and make a decent commute to JH or are there better hospitals that can be recommended. I need city and county names as well. Thanks for the help. :)

:) Thanks for the words of encouragement, I really needed them. For awhile there I felt like I was suffocating.

If you are a BCC student maybe you are as ticked off as I am by this new point system :angryfire . I just found out that instead of getting into the 1/06 class I maybe forced to wait until 8/06 . This may not seem like a long wait but I started this process in 1/04. I'm studying for the NLN pre entrance exam, but now I probably won't take it until next year sometime . I feel like quitting but I'm too close to turn back now. Just felt like RANTING !!!!!
