Since the passing of the new nurse/patient ratio bill
the California Board of Nursing recently announced that CA license applications of RNs from other states has doubled over the last 3 months. One local nursing agency had over 200 applicants, many older returning bedside nurses. Nevada is experiencing a huge shortage because of nurses crossing the boarder to work in California. This out to be a wake-up call to other states!
Approx 45 mins from Sacramento - median home price is $165,000:)
Are you talking north or east? Yuba City or Auburn?
The fact of the matter is most people don't think of such small towns when they think of California. They think of L.A., San Diego or where I live, near Newport Beach. And it's expensive. We have a 2 bed, 2 bath condo, with no garage appraised at over $330,000. CA has the highest taxes in the country , even with our budget concerns. So ratios or no ratios, I think people are staying away from the Golden State due to cost of living concerns.
As one who has lived in all corners of the country, I ain't never leavin' California. It's sunny and 75 degrees today with low humidity - how many other places can say that in March?
