Hey, so I can't give you much insight regarding the nursing process. Because I am just beginning my journey with that in San Diego. But, I am from Chicago and do live in San Diego. I love love san diego, and I love North park. I live in Golden Hill right now, and looking to move to North Park or South Park, both great areas. I would compare them to Wicker Park but less hipster and more so cal. North Park is super safe, walkable. Same with south park. You do need a car in San Diego though as the cities are spread apart. Reach out to me if you have any more questions, my best friend from Chicago who just graduated with her RN, is also looking to move to San Diego in summer or fall.
