Unsure about moving to NC now

U.S.A. North Carolina

Published

Hello Everyone!

I currently live in Phoenix, AZ and was planning on moving to NC in a yr when I get some experience. I can't take the hot weather anymore! I thought Phx. was really bad with our salary starting at 27/hr since north California starts as high as 50/hr. Now I see that there is much worse. I am dissapointed because I have been really wanting to move to the southeast for yeearrs.

What do you guys recommend instead taking the low salary? Per Diem? Agency contract? Local traveling?

I hope they will have an increase in pay soon. :confused:

I am currently living in Las Vegas, and working F/T making $32/hour with 3 yrs experience in ER. I contacted Duke in NC, and they quoted $21.55/hour!

Don't tell me the COL is THAT much lower in NC than NV!! I was looking online at housing and can't find anything reasonable for less than $250,000 - there's no way I could afford that making $21/hour!!

Any suggestions on other hospitals that may pay more? Other states that are nice with good school districts??

Any help would be greatly appreciated - we are looking to move May 2009, but are still open to suggestions to locations!

Thanks,

Amanda

Amanda why are you leaving Las Vegas?:D It's on one of my possible relocation cities after I get a few years experience.
