    Default Dilemma's

    I've been plotting and planning my move. I want to go home to Pa, get a job, finish college quickly and get the hell out of dodge. I absolutly fuckign hate that area with a passion, but I want to move back there simply because I have gone to that college, I know it's good, I know I can get my education there with no bumps. You all know I've had hell with the school here in Vegas.

    The problem is..I HATE that area. I see pictures of it right now, with the constant gray sky and 10 inches of snow and 23587 degrees below freezing weather. ( ok, slight exaggeration)

    I don't know what to do. I don't know where to go. I'm scared to just move to some random area and discover the same college issues. All I want to do is finish school smoothly.

    To add to it..I'm trying to search for apartments. I do not think that that area of PA is hooked up to the internet yet. They have no websites for apartments. at all. I even tried searchign for specif names of rental companies and shit. no websites. WTF?

    /sigh. I'm scared and I dont know where to go, I just know I gotta leave here. and quit dancing. I have it all planned out so nicely. I just dont know where to be.

    The winters really freak me out. I hate it with a passion. and refuse to drive in snow. I wrecked, flipped over a hill, and driving in snow gives me the worst panic attacks ever. I despise it. I hate snow.i hate cold. hate it so bad I'm er thinkign my move plans.
    But I dont know...where to go. I cant just try out every college in the country till find one I like.

    what should I do? just looking at the snow pictures back there depresses me. I like the 120 degree weather out here. I just hate everything else. I hate everything about back home to..I'm just thinking of the college. and it's a very cheap area to live.

    Home as in Beaver County? Have you looked at TimesOnline.com? I believe that is the Beaver County Times website. And surely you don't mean Geneva, which is hella expensive.

    ^ I have looked at timesonline. Actually, the pic on their main page is the depressing one that got me thinking. The caption reads somethign like " gray sky's are gonna clear up....sometime before May." ugh. but I want to be able to see the apartments and the newspaper online doesn't have any pics of places just listings.
    I guess it's probably because back there you rent the bottom of a house and stuff like that Out here you rent apartments in complexes.

    I went to CCBC and want to return there. I loved that college for many reasons. Great nursing program, great instructors, great counselors. It was all awsome.
    And beaver co. is hella cheap, at least compared to what I'm ued to. You can rent a whole freakin house for $500 a month back there! apartment rent for 400-600 a month! I used to rent an apartment for 250 a month and it wasn't bad at all. 2 bedrooms, not bad area....

    I'm just so torn with all these decisions....
    I can move anywhere in the USA, and all I want is good weather and a good college to finish nursing school. and I have no idea where that place is and I dont know how to find it.

    I completely understand. I can rent a house there for as much as I rent my apartment for here. I went to CCBC, but I honestly didn't care for it. However, moving back to Beaver County...according to my Dad, who I spoke to on the phone last night before eleven, they were slammed with lake effect snow and it's supposed to go on until seven tonight. I was supposed to go home and visit but he called and said the roads are just too bad, and to stay below the Mason Dixon. As for looking at apartment way far away, not hapnin'. Beaver County just isn't that wired yet, if it ever does. If I were you, I'd fly in for a week and stay at a Holiday Inn and go apartment hunting for that week.

    What about getting your nursing degree online? You can still get your degree from a great school and still stay in Vegas. Also, if BC is anything like the Poconos, the jobs pay shit. EVERYTHING pays $10/hr. I've seen ads in the paper for an orthodontist and the pay was $10/hr. And I saw a Dateline special about the rise in popularity of online degrees and that if you get it from an accredited college. (St. Johns University etc.) it's considered the same as a regular degree. I'm going to school for nursing too and I'm moving to Vegas in June. If I can't find a good school there, I'm definately going the on-line route.

    ^^^ Not so. Online degrees from, say, U. of Pheonix Online are not treated with the same level of respect. Such institutions are seen as 'degree mills' with less worth than a brick and mortar school.

    As long as it's accredited it is as good. There isn't the stigma of 10 years ago. The degree is printed on the same paper and the courses are the same. The only thing you miss is living on campus and meeting contacts. Better to get your degree online than to forego getting it at all.

    I'm sure if you look around a bit more you could find a good nursing school in a better climate. I'm the same way in that I hate cold and snow. If I had to live in an area like that I would be in a constant state of depression, I grew up in it so I know. Have you looked into Arizona? It wouldn't be that far of a move and it's less hectic than Vegas. I really think you should take advantage of the fact that you seem to be able to move just about anywhere. Good luck!

    what about florida? my friend finished her RN last year in orlando. it was tough but she got hired right away. the climate is good, cost of living isnt bad. lots and lots of service industry jobs if you dont want to dance. she went to university of central florida. oh and tons and tons of apartments.

    University of Phoenix IS a brick and mortar school! or they have lots of brick and mortar campuses anyhow.

    I understand where you are coming from Kaylinn having been there myself. I opted to go back to the shitty, gray, depressing area to finish school without any hitches. Best of luck to you.

    Tucson? Cheap, dirty, progressive, and a multitude of work-anytime clubs. With ten dollar lap dances. No snow, tho. I'm pretty sure they have a buncha good medical type schools.
