Students who move out of state to pursue nursing

Published

Okay, after carefully reviewing my options, I've decided that maybe I should move out of state to attend a nursing school because the ones in Michigan have such a long waiting list and many ppl don't get accepted. Do you think this is a good decision? To transfer to a University and live in a dorm to complete nursing school? I brought this up to a friend, and she got defensive, and knocked the idea.

Has anyone ever done this before? If so, do you regret the decision or are you glad you did it?

Hello everyone. I graduated from nursing school about 1 year ago. Honestly, I had NO idea how competitive it was until I saw this board. I live in SoCali. I applied to one school. I think I had to wait 1 semester, and then I started. All through-out NS I was unaware of how many people would kill to have my spot. I'm not sure if it's worth moving away from your hometown or not. Your hometown has people you know, places you can live (with family), and free food from your relatives. I guess it depends on how much you're willing to spend/not spend and how long you're willing to wait. If I were you, I'd just wait. While you're waiting you can work some extra hours or something and save up additional cash. Nursing school will still be there waiting for you. :-)
