Nursing Employment Contract Questions
Hello everyone and thank you so much for viewing my question. I am a recent graduate from a great school and am interviewing for RN positions. I have received a few offers already but have a question that I am afraid to ask.

On each of the offers there is a 2 to 3 year contract involved. I am in a situation in which I may find it necessary to move within 1 1/2 to 2 years. Does anyone know the consequences this places to break such contracts? Also, will breaking one of these contracts impact me in my career as a Nurse?

I am very afraid to take the 3 year contract because I am nearly positive I will need to relocate out of state within that time frame. The reason is that my husband's work may require this. Could someone please inform me of the things below:

1. What are the usual consequences.

2. Would breaking contract impact future job searches and career advancements?

3. Can these commitment levels be negotiated by first year RNs?

Thank you again and hope to get some advice. God bless.
