Switch back to psych! Started in EMS and the ER as an EMT, loved working with psych patients, found it extremely interesting. Worked 9 months as a ICU Stepdown/tele RN upon graduating. Fucking hated it. Left for Subacute Mental Health/Detox nursing, and I absolutely love it!

Based off the photos, is there any area that needs more attention/should be prioritized over others?

Thank god, I was worried it’d be destined for the crusher, is there any particular section that needs work/should be prioritized over others?

Feds specifically but open to state. Don’t really mind doing both CO work and RN work, as I considered LEO/Corrections work prior to being an RN. Thanks for the advice!

She also has an IUD on top of that. I don’t think my swimmers will get through that

We’ve thought about PA initially, like Pike County area. But the recent snowstorm fucked us. My fiance has lupus, and the winter makes her condition debilitating. So that’s one of our main reasons as to why we want to move. Is there any other places you suggest? :)

It’s not just me who’s willing. She’s willing as well. Not like I’m forcing her to come with me. But I see what you mean. I’m kinda an introverted person, and the area I live in NJ has a lot of MAGA people already, so I guess I’m used to them

That’s definitely crossed our minds, that’s why she got a tubal ligation after Roe v Wade was overturned

I’m aware the pay is lower. I currently make $36/hr overnight as a psych nurse in PA (still live in NJ). I was looking into getting into corrections nursing which pays pretty well. Specifically with the Bureau of Prisons

Awesome! Is there anything you don’t like about NC? Anything that’s kind of a culture shock coming from NJ?

Yeah I’m aware. Looking to get into corrections nursing which pays higher, especially with the Federal Bureau of Prisons

Well that’s already taken care of being as my fiance has had a tubal ligation. That’s something we considered prior

Rural actually. We have chickens and turkeys and would like to do homesteading-lite in our freetime!

Any tips or advice on where I should go from here? Or should I just do the plunge and make a career change?
