So for the relocation is it on top of the sign on bonus? how come it's 15K$ at night, is it more hard work? and which hospital in florida you're working for now? Did you accept the sign on bonus and job contract?

And yes you can ask me about life as a nurse here in california :)

I work here San Diego, beautiful Sunnyego lol.

Okay so today, nurse recruiter called me and we had like brief discussion and screening, and she said she will forward me to a international nursing recruiter since I'm a IEN. I was like okay lol

So she asked me if it's okay or if I want to work in Med-Tele, my preferred schedule, when I can leave my current job or start with with the new job? HAHAHA I was like okay.

Then asked my why I want to work Florida Hospital . Then she said how do I like working in Florida Hospital East Orlando?

Then yeah, waiting for next call from another nurse recruiter HAHAHA
