Geez Nick, you're young and it may make a difference, but you sound like I did when I wanted to leave Greenville NC and move where I am to Emerald Isle. I said I wanted to be able to walk the beach before I can't anymore. So we did move and nothing has gone right. At first we did walk the beach everyday. But I aged right before my eyes from the sun. And now Greg can't find a job. And nursing is another thing. I'd like to try again and now we're thinking of Charlotte NC big city and my youngest live there. But are we being delusional again thinking the grass is greener on the other side? Will he really be able to find a job and will I really be able to nurse without refresher course and med/surg on floor. My back and nerves couldn't take it. And then the Hospitals tell me I'd have to work full time before parttime or as needed. Does that make sense with the nursing shortage. Even the Board of Nursing said it's a catch 22 as they don't require this training since my license is current. But as they said hospitals can set their own policies. I just don't know it sounds so perfect in my head. I'm getting confused as they're are certainly no guarantees. All sorts of feedback from my son. Don't go there you always move. But does he visit me or invite us to visit only two hours away? No. My head is swimming can't concentrate to even read so how can I make such a life altering decision? I'm 59 not 23. This is it. I need a therapist to talk to about this but none in the area. Long rant, I'm sorry. Don't want to rain on what sounds like something really exciting for you and getting out of London is a much safer decision to make. I think you'll love it there. Yeah I really do. Fondly, Phillipa
