Hello! I have always dreamed of this lifestyle, and thanks to the economy stinking so badly and my sweet husband not being able to find a job in our hometown, we have decided to hit the road. I am an RN, so we are thinking of taking travel assignemnts around the country and living in an RV, I apologize in advance for the myriad of dumb questions I will probably be asking, and thank you all for your sage advice.
WooHoo!

Jamie,
Welcome to the RV Dreams forum. If you have been lurking for a while before actually signing up to post, then you know that there are a lot of knowledgable and friendly people here. Feel free to ask your questions. Everyone has to be a newbie at one time or another.
As for me, I'm 64 years old and have been camping in one form or another ever since I was a kid. My folks' first "camper" was something called a "Kwik Kamp" that was basically a box where the top part of the box hinged over to become the floor and then a canvas top and sides were raised. The bottom of the camper "box" then became the bed.
Those were such a long time ago that I can't even find pictures of one of them now. But the point of this whole lengthy statement is to say that we are all still learning. Remember, there are no stupid questions......just smart alecky answers.

Sounds like a great dream, desertnurse. Welcome to the forum. There's lots of info that can be had here by just reading, but usually someone will be glad to provide a knowledgeable answer if you just ask. We are not full-timers yet, but working our way towards that dream.

Welcome Jamie!
Still in the planning stages here and will be for a few years yet until the kids get out of college and the DW and I can retire. Plenty of time to slowly learn.
The folks here are very nice and very helpful. If you have a question, do a little research in the threads to see if the topic has already been broached (it probably has). However, if it's something that you just can't find or something unique, ask away! The folks here usually have an answer or can point you in the right direction.

Welcome, there are no dumb questions. Rving is a lot of fun and a little knowledge makes it easier. It is great that you have the opportunity to live the dream even while working. Some of us have to wait a little while longer.
