I am a graduate nurse at a hospital in Florida. I signed a two year contract with a hospital and I am a year in to the contract but need to move across the country as my significant other is being relocated for work. I have been an ideal employee and had volunteered at the hospital for a long time before becoming employed by them, but cannot afford the $6,000-$7,000 the contract says I would owe. Has anyone gone through any experiences like this? Is there anyway to get out of the contract and has breaching a contract kept you from getting future positions?
