Where in Florida?
Hi there, I'd be grateful for any advice I can get regarding moving to the US. I'm a nurse hoping to work in Florida, can anyone recommend somewhere suitable to settle? I have 2 kids (who don't want to move!) so I have to get it right! Been looking at websites of different locations but I feel it's better to get info from people who live/or know the areas. Thanks Thistlegirl :D

Re: Where in Florida?
Your research on where to live can only really begin after you obtain your visa. If you fixate on a particular state/city/region where you would like to live, you may find yourself waiting a long, long time before an opportunity arises when you can get a job there.
So, in the meantime, you could pay close attention to geographic areas in the US that have medical facilities in the speciality that you work in. Also, start investigating the cost of education for your children (especially if any of them wishes to attend university in the US). NC Penguin |

Thanks for info. I know it can take 2yrs to get to US but since i've joined a nursing agency I thought it would be better to have a little knowledge of areas I think we would like otherwise the agency might place me somewhere I really don't want to go (I've read that this happens frequently!) Anyway it's good to look at pictures of sunny florida on the net while its wet and windy here! :)

read Rockgurl story .... Like NC Penguin said, it isn't a good idea to fix on one part of the US, there are considerable differences from state to state. There are advantages to each state, for example there are many good things about Florida, virtal absence of Winter, many British, lots to do (because it is a tourist destination), ... plus hurricanes and oppressive heat and humidity in July and August! :rolleyes: |

On the flip side, I am sooooo happy to be able to go out into the brightest sun England can throw at me, stay out all day, and not get burnt. Bliss. "Irishmen spontaneously combust over 90 degrees. First an eye pops out, then a leg falls off..." -- Gary Lightbody, lead singer of Snow Patrol |
