I am looking to relocate from Indiana to Arizona and I am needing to find a RN job in a good hospital in the Phoneix, Surprize AZ area. I am looking for suggestions of good places to work. I was looking on some job sites and there are so many jobs posted, so many to choose from compared to where I live. There are places here where I live where I would never want to work, as they are horrid places with no standards of care.
I currently work in a 36 bed LDRP unit, we do all of our own C-sections and recovery. I am also trained to scrub, circulate and assist in the L&D OR.
We have about 800-1,000 deliveries a year on our unit.
I have 5 years L&D, maternal child and OR expereince.
I currently have a RN licence in Indiana, what steps do I need to take to get my licence in AZ?
A lot came here as an investment, some cant stand the heat but for others they miss their families.
There are 800 plus house fro sale in my little area, and nearly everyone you go see the agent says-theyve gone back to CA or they are from CA and they bought this as an investment. They are nearly all empty brand new houses.
The one we want to buy is in a row of three, we got a bit worried why they were all up for slae, it turns out they were bought by three investor friends from yeah you got it-CA
Yeah ... a lot of inventory is building up in my neck of the woods also. Lots of investors who just bought houses a year or two ago are putting them up for sale. There's also so much new construction in my neighborhood I can't believe they're going to sell them all but, most of them are still selling ... at least for now.
The only thing this area has going for it is that we're still one of the cheapest areas in California but ... with all of this extra inventory, prices will probably drop eventually. There was an article in our local paper that said 2/3 of the houses for sale are either from investors or people who don't actually have to move who are trying to cash in on the housing boom before it's over (assuming, of course, it isn't already over which, it probably is).
It is because the sellers are go greedy. We went to see one house it was up for sale for $425,000 and we found out they had paid $230,000 2 years before and would not compromise on the price. Now tell me where you can raise $205,000 in 2 years without lifting a finger.

Yep ... same thing here. Although I did notice that some of the investors did put a lot of improvements into some of the properties they bought. Others didn't do anything. Whether they'll actually get those prices with all of the new homes going up in the neighborhood is another question. As a homeowner, I kinda hope they get those prices but ... I'm not counting on it. I'm happy with the appreciation I already have.
What I'm trying to figure out is where the people who actually live in these houses move to. Do they just quit their jobs and leave? I guess they can afford to if they make a great profit. In our neck of the woods, some of them move to outlying areas that are going up also but, those areas aren't that desirable as of yet ... the job opportunities are a lot less and it makes for a really, really long commute to better paying jobs so, maybe they move out of state or something ... I dunno.
if you have a job lined up in arizona, then you can go to the state board with the letter from the hospital,,,,or agency of the job which must start within 7 days and they will give you a temporary licence. it takes 48 hours to process and when you return they give it to you.
thers a list of what you have to take to the board on their website.
If any of you are interested in Yuma, Az., we are growing by leaps and bounds. We have a brand new cardiac unit and now doing open hearts. We are the only hospital in town and for miles as for as that goes. Our pay is very good and comparable to hospitals all over the state. I work on med-surg even though it is hard work I enjoy it. We have a very friendly group of nurses on our floor, but I find that pretty much all over our hospital. If you are thinking to moving to Arizona give us a thought. Small town, less traffic.
I visited a relative in Yuma Regional Medical Center recently. I must admit I was quite impressed. The nurses were fantastic; it is a great facility. The nurses seemed happy, relaxed and professional. I saw this over several days of visiting. I know the hospital offers an old-fashioned PENSION plan. One needs to take a look at the city of Yuma and decide about that though.

I think the guy who owns my house lives in Atlanta. From what I understand, he did originally live in the house. It's been through quite a few people since then; I know, I get all their mail and phone calls.
One of the things that cinched my decision to move here was the number of rental *houses* available. Most other areas are heavy with apartments and just a few houses, and I wasn't eager to go back to apartment living after being a homeowner for 14 years. I didn't know the dynamics at the time, about the investors and all. But they've fixed it so I can afford to rent here but can't afford to buy. It took me 14 years to sell my house back East after the housing market tanked, and I'm not about to buy high and sell low again. I feel sorry for anyone who buys right now unless they plan to die in that house.
Can you explain to me a little more about the compact license. I live in Mass and it is not a compact state. I'm in a very tricky situation at the moment. I have been accepted to nursing school here in Mass which I will be starting in the fall, but my husband has prospective jobs lined up in Arizona. I have been reading about the wait list in AZ as it is in Mass too. If I stay back in Mass and obtain my license (hopefully) and relocate in two years to AZ how do I go about obtaining my AZ license? Thank you for any information you can provide.
