Being an RN, I'm sure you would have plenty of opportunities wherever you decide to go. Daytona is decent, although the beach area is definitely showing its age.
Before moving to the gulf coast of Alabama (to be closer to family, without giving up the beach lifestyle) we most recently lived in northeast Florida, right on the ocean, and if you're not committed to the job in Daytona, I think you'll find that from St. Augustine Beach south through Ormond Beach are all beautiful areas. Food for thought.
Yes, the cost of living definitely will be higher in FL than in MO, but after all, it's Florida, not Missouri. Nuff said :)
As for 'storms' .... I'd need to have someone show me a state that was free of weather issues. I haven't found it yet. Of course, in my book, very cold weather and any snow at all are unacceptable. And, if a hurricane came along, it sounds like whatever you're going to be living in will have wheels under it -- so you just get out of there for a few days. Remember, hurricanes give you MUCH more advance notice than tornadoes.
Best of luck in your new venture.
Thank you so much. I wil PM you to further discuss.
