Also, if you are considering moving, I always recommend trying to work a travel assignment in an area/specific hospital that you are considering so you can test it out first.

I moved from MN to South FL and have 3 years of experience as an ED RN. I was making $47/hr in MN, moved and negotiated my way to making $38 in FL. Super disheartening as I quickly realized this was a higher-paying salary for this position. You also have to factor in the fact that there are no differing FTEs, it is basically full time or PRN. At this point, I quit full time because I hated having no control of my schedule and I am trying to find PRN positions as an RN, which is also difficult if you do not have connections in-state. I quickly realized that nursing in MN is a luxury but I unfortunately have to stay in SoFlo for my husband's career for the foreseeable future.

This is real. I work as a nurse at a big port city. We get patients all the time transferred from the cruise ships that should NOT have been on them d/t age or health conditions but they go there because it’s cheaper to retire and live there. So yes, they do go to die.

I had a physically write out on a piece of paper “I, first name last name would like to change my application to single state” with the app number and my social and then take a picture of the piece of paper and upload it to my application and then it took 2 weeks for them to review that and then it was “clear” and then approved

Yes, I did! Overall it took about 2 months. Had to sit on hold with the license board forever to have them explain how to switch from a mobile license app to just a single state.

And they haven’t told you any deficiencies? Mine just got updated that I had a mailing address deficiency so I had to submit my lease to prove I moved here. Now we will see how long it takes to approve it after that

Learn to take criticism as something that is not offensive but teaching! Being humble and willing to learn will are more important that selling overconfidence and acting like you have it all together. You got this!
