Should I relocate?

Published

Hello, everyone,

I have an odd question. I am a nursing student in Colorado, and a single mom of two sons, 11 & 13. We want to relocate to the northeast - Boston area

I have the opportunity to enter an ABSN program in Dartmouth, Mass, or staying here and relocating post grad from a traditional program in Colorado, and going then.

I have been told by several nurse recruiters that if at all possible, I should complete the clinical portion of my education in the market I want to work in, as many contacts and eventual placements result from these experiences.

Moving now, clinicals start in January, would be expensive, but I am wondering if it would be the smartest decision in the lomg run.

I really appreciate any advice you can give me.

Look closely at the cost of living in both areas before you decide. Only you know what you can afford.
