I believe the state of California is bigger than the UK. Can you be little more specific ? Are you thinking Coastal area, Mts, City, rural... I am a NICU RN and have lived and worked in So. Cal and No. Cal. If you give me more specifics maybe I can help. By the way are you looking for a Level II or Level III ? PM me if I can help.

HI Caramel,

thanks for the reply. I am a also working in London at the moment but just been thinking about going to the USA so not in the process ar all yet. Just been putting feelers out to get ideas.
Good luck for your interview. work with a girl who has just passed her NCLEX for Florida and her husband is also a nurse there already.
How is C & W, I did a few shifts there in Neptune and Mercury some time ago now.
Bye
