Yes, many thanks from another nurse! It's nice to be appreciated.

I don't know where you live now, but be prepared to take a huge pay cut if you go to Tennessee. Although the costs of living are lower than most states, so are the wages and the availability of jobs. I am an LPN and lived in the Tennessee/Kentucky area my whole life and the most I ever made WITH benefits was $15-something per hour. Typically I worked for agencies making around $20 an hour with no benefits of any kind, and then the work could be unpredictable at times but the pay rate was attractive so I did it and just hoped for the best. I moved to Vegas last year and am really loving the city life. . . . .although the cost of living here is indeed an outrage. Have you considered Nashville? It has Vanderbilt Children's Hospital. Their specialists treated my daughter from the time she was diagnosed with Juvenile Diabetes in 2002. I have absolutly no complaints about them or their pediatric hospital.
Very best of luck to you. If I can help in any way by answering any questions about Tennessee just let me know. I will be glad to help if I can.
