To transfer or not to transfer...

Hi All! Long time no post- but I'm sure you can all relate to how busy life is :)

So here is my plea for advice, thoughts, opinions, etc...

So this past summer my fiance and I decide to dip out and elope, which was fabulous. However, pretty soon after, his job moved him about 7 hours away to the Pensacola area. So right now, I'm juggling a household (no kids thank goodness, just two rowdy dogs and a way too big house) which we are trying to fix up to sell, driving to visit him 1-2 times a month on the weekends, working almost full time, and of course nursing school and clinicals.

When he first moved I looked into some schools in the area and none accepted transfer credits. Finally a couple days ago I stumbled across Northwest Florida State College and they accept transfer students and invited me to send in my transcripts, which I did.

However, I could find precious little from students/employers regarding the school (i.e. happiness, fairness, instructor reviews, etc).

I desperately want to move to be with my husband but I don't want to risk anything regarding my education. I fought hard to get into a program and I'm hesitant to jump ship for unknown waters.

So, if anyone knows anything, has thoughts about transferring three semesters in, etc, have at!

    You're seven hours away from the school you were previously attending? It only makes sense to look into going to the one that accepts your transfer credits. I would say make sure everything is worth it. Make sure the school is accredited and isn't killing you with tuition.

    Oh! I should of been more clear. I stayed behind :/ so I'm still near my school, but want to move up with him ASAP.

    Oh! If I were you I would stay until you're finished. Switching schools is stressful especially since you're almost done. Maybe just visit him or him visit you until you graduate? Then move down

    Stay until you finish...you are three semesters in (and if you are in an ASN program) and so close to graduating. It's such a small time left to be apart, hang in there.

    I am in tornado alley and in just a week my husband will move to the Atlantic coast for a job. I am staying and I still have 2.5 semesters left. You are right, getting a house to sell is going to take alot of work especially now while the buying market is soft. Essentially, your house will need to be move in ready and amazing in order to sell.

    Personally, I would wait, finish where you are, then fix up the house and sell.

    However, if you want to know about the school then look at its accreditation and its NCLEX pass rate.

    Oh and why is he not driving to see you? You are the one in Nursing School.

    The only reason is gas. He drives a dually, I drive a Prius. Round trip for him is $240, for me roundtrip is about $70. He only comes down when the guy he's staying with has to so they can split gas. Once we sell the house though, he says he'll come down more often, since we won't have the mortgage.

    Look at the bright side, you have minimal distraction until you graduate... Then move on down and get into a BSN program
