Long Distance Relationships....

[Night Fly]

Youll have forgotten about him in a month.

No, Dave...YOU would have...I only forget the people I choose to forget.

Havoc---thank you for the advice. I hope that we are able to be one of the 'few' that survive the long distance relationships.

Kryp2o---wish me luck...how have YOU been? Haven't talked with you in a while, I know. About leaving TN...it is a beautiful state, but I may move to somewhere else for a while and then move back. Who knows.

KC---you know that your reply means so much to me. I hate that I even have to say that I can relate to your and Frackal's relationship (not in the bad way), because I would rather have someone close. I know that you two will be okay...at least he gets to move down there in a month or so. I have at least a year to wait.

Hannibal---you are such a sweetheart. Thanks for the words of advice. And you know that I am a wonderful communicator! Open and honest...that's my policy.

Anyone else have anything else to say???

I was in a long distance relationship about a year ago.
I think they could work if you want them to and givin that you put in the time and effort to make them happen successfully. It didn't work for me because

1. you dont know what she is doing all the time (or who) .

2 she dont know what your doing all the time.

Personally i got bored a couple of times, found a chick and had some fun know what im sayin.

But if she only didn't find out hehe

I've been in one for over a year and half. It has been hard , she flew out twice last year for two weeks each time, then I flew out the last three times and am trying to land a job. I am moving out there, but my ex is fighting the kids going, even though they want to go and don't want to live with her. It's very hard and I made an exception for this woman, I woulnd't do it again.

friend just got outta one, we live in NY and he was going with this girl from Arkansas, and it was just too far, especially at the age of 16, can see each other only like twice a year, it's tough.

he?

Well, we have been talking about 4 months, but just met last week (we met each other through my parents....it's a fucked up story). We have spent the last two weeks together and it has been wonderful.

I normally wouldn't hesitate to moving up there, BUT I only have a year and a half left in nursing school here (and transferring to a different nsg school is almost impossible because they don't like transfers in that program). PLUS, he just got a new teaching job and also a new coaching job...SO...we both have our priorities in each town. I think it would be possible for him to move down here after a year...but I don't know if we could pull off a LDR for a year and a half. That could get quite expensive.

And, yes, Chicago is an expensive place....

Commenting other than the situation, if the area is expensive work a year or two in an area that you want,ect and then work Per Diem (float pool), you'll be able to work whenever you want with little restriction other than minimum requirements and you will make ALOT MORE MONEY.
I've been an RN for 6 years this month-it's a screwed up way of life-I'll give you that much.

Yes, it is a screwed up way of life (I am not even a nurse yet, but working in a hospital, I can tell that), BUT...like you said....you can make alot of money working in certain areas. I am interested in flight nursing, and I hear that travel nurses are making a ton of money right now. I think that will be the way I'm going to go until I want to settle down with a family. who knows.

Do you enjoy being an RN???

Another plus for me, is the fact that plane tickets are only $100 to Chicago on Southwest. Not bad at all, if you ask me.
