California

After 4 months, I have finally gotten my Cali license. Any recommendations on hospitals in northern Cali that are travel friendly with great pay? What are some of you travelers getting after taxes for pay and where are you located if you dont mind posting. Any info is greatly appreciated. I looked at some older post, but i was wanting to get some up to date info if possible!!

    I'm a month or two away from my California license and am in the same boat as you. I was born and raised in the Bay Area and am dying to get back there. I've got a recruiter from American Mobile who calls me once a week to check on my license status. She's very nice and enthusiastic and makes it sound like getting me into a Kaiser facility will be a breeze. But I'm a little nervous about it all since this will be my fist travel assignment after one year of RN experience. If anyone out there has any info on how keen Kaiser is about hiring on travelers, I'd love to hear about it. sc0811, hope you don't mind me piggybacking my question onto your thread. :)

    Kaiser is keen to hire travelers but they usually require 2 years of experience and a year of travel. As Kaiser travelers often float every four hours, I think you do want sufficient experience anyway and not choose Kaiser for your first assignment.

    For up-to-information on availability and pay rates, the best source is agencies. Call lots of them to get an accurate picture for your specialty and experience.

    I love this topic since I am looking to do the same. I too am from GA.. its been 2 months since I am waiting on my license so this makes me worry now that it might take 4 months. I was hoping to start late Oct. or early Nov.

    May I ask what your specialty is and what agency you're going with? I've been talking with an agency that is quoting me pay rates in the $33-$35/hr + housing ($2000 stipend).

    Hey, sc0811. After trying to send you a longish reply, I got a message telling me I can't send PM's, that I need 15 quality threads or something. Nice feature. At any rate, I'll be more succinct and summarize the content here: Thanks for your advice! (obviously something is lost in concision). :)

    I've been traveling in CA for 6 months now, northern CA (Bay area) pays alot more than Southern CA.
