Sanford Relocation Help!

Published

Hi all,

I'm a new grad from Southern California that is preparing to relocate to Fargo for a RN job at Sanford. Just wondering what your guys' opinion is on some things:

-Should I drive my car up to Fargo?

-If so, does ND require me to change license plates?

-Best apartment areas?

Thanks in advance!

Do you guys have any housing information or leads?

If u have good credit youll be okay to get an apartment out here... rent will be from 500 and up depending on what u want.

Cityscapes looks so pretty and close to the hospital but they don't have studio or 1 room apartments :(

I was able to find a place at Northwood commons. Fairly close to the hospital at Broadway and not that expensive. 700 for 2 room apartment.

I might be going to Sanford on the cardiac progressive unit as well. Have 2 offers for cardiac & psych, not sure which I'll choose yet. I love psych but I also want a med/surg experience, too, since I'm starting out.

Anyone have any experiences working at Sanford, good or bad? I've seen kinda mixed reviews, a little positive and a little negative, so I'm not sure what to think of them.

Also, I got an offer from Vibra in Mandan, too. If you guys had to pick between Vibra (with 10k bonus over 2 yrs + 5k relocation assistance) and Sanford (supposedly a good teaching hospital + 1k in relocation expenses reimbursed), which would you choose?

Thank you so much in advance, and congrats to those with job offers!

Good luck! Let me know how it goes.

Any places in Fargo that you know of that a single female should avoid?

Thanks in advance.

I lived in ND for a while. I'd chose Fargo over Mandan. Fargo is the biggest city in ND and has a few fun things to do. I really enjoyed my time in ND except for the brutal winters. I'd definitely pick the Cardiac unit over psych if that were me.

Even though I love psych, I ended up picking cardiac. I actually start June 1st.

How long were you in ND for? Any decent places to live in the downtown area? I checked out the area via spotcrime.com and saw that it might be a rough neighborhood near Sanford off Broadway. Would you say this is accurate? Where did you live before Fargo?

Thanks in advance for any info you can give, I appreciate it.
