I am not yet even a nursing student but I think I will purse a CRNA degree.
I was scanning a nursing job site and it seems that Texas has a very high pay scale.

Any ideas as to why?

have you ever been to any those border towns that are paying so high???


you might understand if you have.

You are being hypnotized: Do not come to Texas.

What a silly question,

As the world knows, everything is bigger in Texas.

Seriously though, most of the high paying jobs are in terrible places to live. IMHO that is most of Texas.

so with that logic......


Is the pay in San Diego pretty low compared to other parts of the country?

[CRHSrn]

THAT IS SO TRUE NILEPOC !!!

NOT TRUE...just moved to tx from jersey and as a per diem nurse i got a 10$ per hour pay cut and my malpractice ins tripled!!!

well, I live in one of those border towns now, and it isn't bad at all. Pay is not the highest, but the sign-on and relocation are good.

i had the unfortunate experience of living in tx for 3 years myself. i took an additional 10 years off my life just waking up and looking at the flat/brown waste land of tx. you couldn't pay me enough to move back.
