tips for people who want to move out of their home state

[msrxchef]

I am currently in an accelerated nursing program and HIGHLY desire to move out of my home state to the New England/Mid-Atlantic area for an RN position. I know populated cities are probably over-saturated and I wont be hired without some experience but I would like to move closer to a big city so I get that experience, some further networking and eventually work in the city (Boston and NYC, specifically).

I don't know anybody outside of my home state. Should I focus on networking or should I focus more on getting PCA experience? I do not have PCA experience but I do work in a pharmacy currently.

Hi! If you don't currently know anyone in the region you want to move to, perhaps reach out to your schools alumni committee (if they have one) to see if any alum have moved to that region and currently or previously worked there. They might be able to give you advice on relocating, hospitals to get your foot in the door at, or be able to set you up with networking opportunities. Also if any friends of friends of friends live in the area, ask to be put in touch with them to network! Utilize all available resources! Best of luck :)
