I'm moving from Australia to USA after I graduate (RN degree), it makes sense to us that for financial reasons its best if I move to USA (he has a stable job, house already). I would get a job there and live permanently there. I grew up in Australia and I'm very close to family and friends. I have no doubt about making the right decision I just need advice on how to deal... How do I deal with leaving my dear family and friends?
Thanks fellow Yahoo-ers!!! :)

I grew up in the USA, and I moved from one coast to the other. It's not even close to how far you are moving, but I can definately identify with how you feel. I moved for the same reason you are. My fiance was born and raised here and it made more sense for me to move. Now that I've been here about 10 months... I have no regrets. It's a very different life style than what I was used to. I will be honest, it was very hard to deal with leaving my family and friends. Perhaps, the hardest thing I've ever done. I still miss them very much. It does get easier with time, meaning the homesick feeling and missing everything that I was used to. I really think the best thing is expect the missing people and homesickness... and know its ok to feel that way. Get unlimited long distance on your phone. Call as often as you feel necessary. Once you do move, try to get used to your new surroundings. Get involved. Also, a BIG thing, make sure your fiance is prepared for this big change in your life. My fiance was a huge help in me getting adjusted. He was very supportive and took me everywhere and introduced me to as many people as possible. Make sure he understands how much you are going to need to lean on him while you get acclimated. He needs to be patient and understanding. Getting back to my point, it will be hard... But if you know in your head and heart that this is the right decision, then go. If you have any doubts, then don't. Good luck.

The first three month in another country or any move for that matter is the most difficult. I moved overseas for my fiance before and the first three months were very very difficult but honestly once you get used to it you'll be alright. I also moved to another town for my fiance same thing but we got married and live very happily together now. See you have to sometimes make the move its part of life but you'll be ok. And you can still mail and call your family and friends and visit perhaps not as often as you wanted but you can. And you will make new friends and honestly in the end we all need to be kicked out the nest and start our own family. Best of luck.

You don't need to cut ties with your relatives and friends just because you are leaving. With all of the technology available today it would be just like you are still there! Call and write often and get the camera televisions that are out now. You'll be fine and one day bring them over for a visit.

It might not be so bad as you think. You'll have him, so you shouldn't be too lonely. But I would recommend you make sure your friends and family are well acquainted with internet communications, and are able to talk to you with something like Skype. Being able to communicate regularly, for free, and hear their voice and maybe even see video of them talking to you, really eases things and makes it seem like not so great a distance.
