Hi. I currently live in NW Florida and moved here from the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. I miss the wide open country and being in tune with nature. I am not happy with the congestion and crime in Florida. I have also lived in southern Florida and found the only difference was the humidity.
I had to give up my siberian huskies when I moved and that broke my heart. I even had them trained to pull my toboggan. I love rugged outdoorsy men and I have processed many pounds of game meat and know how to can fruits and vegetables. My favorite fish is salmon too... maybe these are signs.
I have looked into the price of rentals in the Anchorage area, and I am hoping incomes reflect the cost of living. I am an LPN and was wondering if there is a shortage of nurses up there in the Anchorage area.

Thank you. I have been looking into the prices of rental properties. I think the Anchorage area is out of my price range.

You should look into the Fairbanks area much better here price wise.

Ps. slso the ccost of living is about 30%% more but the wages generaly are double so the stanndard of living is higher plus after you are a residend you get$ 2000.00 to 3000.00 a year from state.

Thank you.
I was offered a great position with a nursing agency. Looks like I will be staying here a bit longer.

IF you do get to move back up here.... a couple notes.
If you're with a travel nurse agency, they can probably get you a job up here, in any of several places. Usually will hook you up with housing, too. If no housing, and you have a choice, look at the Mat-Su hospital. living out this area is cheaper than Anchorage. Even if you land in Anchorage, commuting from the Valley isn't bad.
Prices ARE higher here, and I don't know about what they pay LPN, RN pay is good.
You DON'T get 2000-3000 annually from the state, but if you live here over a year (Jan. 1--Dec 31) you'll qualify for the PFD, which can be around, even over, $1000.
It IS an area with big open spaces.... I hope you get a chance to come see.
