Hmmm, young? Depends on your perspective. I'll be 37 by graduation.
As far as "mobile and flexable", yeah, I'd day that fits. My only real worry is that I'm not the most social person in the world. I'm not one who makes friends easily. Leaving those few close friends I have is really the only reason not to leave. My family is scattered all over - New Orleans, Port Arthur, Melbourne (FL).
The real advantage of an RN, aside from the fact that while being a difficult and stressful job, the nursing shortage enables one to pretty much pick a hospital anywhere in the US and get hired.
I'd considered leaving TX alltogether but I'm not ready for quite that big a leap just yet. Besides, a move any farther than a day's drive would be prohibitively expensive.
