where are the best places for nurses to work in the usa?
I have recently finished my nursing degree in scotland and there are many factors that are influencing my move. lack of jobs, job prospects, housing prices and quality of living being the main ones. I have looked into many places and my top three are, boston, phoenix and austin. what I cannot find is a realistic view of what it would be like to live in any of these places. people either seem to hate them with a passion or love them. from what I have found, people from boston are snobby, people from phoenix don't like immigrants and people from austin are white trash. can anybody help with the best place to move in an un biased way? hey thanks for the comment, the system is different over here so private practice isnt as wide spread as in america and the jobs there are just as few as in the nhs, unless I want to work in a care home. Basically I would have to move anyway and if im going to move im going to move somewhere their is sun and a better quality of life :) thanks for the info about the citys it was very helpful

Have you considered private practice where you are? But if you're itching to get away, this is what I know: - Boston: If you're into history, you'll love it here. The American Revolution started here. There are also lots and lots of smart people because of the number of colleges and universities in the city. With that (I assume) comes a lot in the way of partying. - Phoenix: It's hot. It's ungodly hot. People from Arizona don't like illegal aliens who come into the country by way of the Mexican border. That's an important distinction to make. And also know that not everyone in Phoenix thinks the same way. - Austin: White trash? Well, if you look hard enough, you can find it. You might have better luck finding white trash way out on the outskirts of town. Austin has a great music scene. It's also a college town. I have a friend who lived there for years and loved it.

Bostonians aren't snobby, we're just not overly friendly until we get to know you. Boston is expensive but you won't need a car. Winters are awful but the other 3 seasons are glorious and make up for it. Phoenix in summer is ridiculously hot and you WILL need a car to get around. You can find white trash in any US city, Austin less so than any other Texas city. I'd choose Boston. Plenty of top teaching hospitals, way more so than in Phoenix or Austin. Nurses are always in short supply.
