   Thank you for your advice. I know taking risks is what I need to do but I'm still really doubtful in my future in nursing. I feel like I am pushing myself into doing something I don't like but do it because I have no choice since I've worked so hard ...

   I haven't seen that much adds that would help with relocation but I think by the end of this year if I don't get anything else I will probably have to relocate. Yes I'm terrified of what I will encounter actually. I'm not sure about being a nurse ...

   Yes I have my Bachelors degree, I felt dumb for taking it right away after highschool. I should have gone into LPN route first to test if I really would like nursing I at least would not have been in so much debt that I am now. My favorite part of nu...

5. Should I quit without exp?

   That's my main drawback. I won't be able to afford to move because I'm currently unemployed. I just can't pack up and leave. Most of the adds I've seen that are further from me (around 3-5hours) are only hiring part time as well. I'd be more than ...

   I thought about it (moving) but had a serious talk with my family and they don't want me to move that far out. Those are the thoughts that are going through my mind now: what if I like it, what if I get the job, what if ...? I'll never really know un...

    Hi, yah 2 hours is a lot of time to commit. And this is only the interview process. I would be traveling 4 hours in total for maybe a 15 min talk of rejection. I'm happy you got a job somewhere close though and one you like.
