Relocating to Minot, ND

[kam.i.am, ADN, BSN, RN]

Hello,

I am thinking of relocating to Minot, ND from South Carolina but would like some up-to-date information on the hospital (Trinity St. Joseph) working conditions, housing (apartment rental), local attitude (are the people friendly), or anything else you can think of. There is this company that is offering a huge sign-on bous with relocation assistance and I am checking them out. Let me know if you have any information that could be of assistance. Thanks.

Have friends who work at Trinity-haven't heard anything more than the usual complaints about work in general. People are friendly. You may want to look on the Minot chamber of commerce webpage for more details about the city. There is a university there as well as an airforce base.

Thanks for the reply Otessa, but I decided not to move to Minot at this time. Have a good day!!!! :)

Taking an RN job at Trinity seems appealing, but from what I can see rental housing is slim pickens, and finding a place that would accept me and my cat is out of the question. Am I looking in the wrong areas?...Craigslist, different rental; websites, etc. It seems that most of the rentals are tied up with oil crews all they up to more than an hour away. Any suggestions on dealing with this? I'm willing to pack up my snow shovel and go, but I need a place to do to.

I'm considering relocating to North Dakota to get a shot at working in acute care. I'm a native of New England, and I don't mind cold or snow. How are the local hospitals about orientation? Do they look down on RNs without acute-care experience? How is the job market for non-nurses?
