Hey there! I am a RN currently living in Columbia, MO but my boyfriend and I are looking to move elsewhere once he graduates from grad school in May 2008. We are looking to live somewhere more exciting--close to a bigger city, more things to do, etc. We don't care much for nightlife, but other things that a bigger city can offer--new restaurants, areas to explore, people watching, etc. We are looking at California (mostly because of the nicer weather) but also the Boston area. Just wondering what anyone can tell me they like about Boston, since I've never been (we are thinking of making a trip there soon). We're most worried about where we would live, as living in a city is obviously more expensive than the midwest. We are okay with commuting up to 45minutes for work, but not more than that. We're used to living in houses or duplexes and we're not sure we could adjust to apartments and high rises. Any suburban areas that are decent to live in?
Anything you could tell me about Boston would be great--guidebooks usually just give reviews of restaurants and hotels, not what it would be like to actually live there!
sending you lots of positive thoughts, katie!:balloons:

thanks leslie! i'm meeting with the DON of a nursing home that I used to work at tomorrow...not a formal interview, but she wants to talk to me and see what opportunities she might have. here's hoping!
another interview at a psych facility weds. i'm just hoping (like every new grad in the area) for a break in one of the teaching hospitals.

Thanks to everyone at all nurses for all the support! I was offered a job on a sub-acute floor in a nursing home/rehab facility! I'm so relieved and excited! (And now, can move on to being nervous about being a nurse!!!)
A little over halfway done with my orientation myself. I'm still feeling a little clueless sometimes, but getting more organized. People tell me I'm doing great. Anticipating my first non-orientation day with a little trepidation. :hngon:
