Florida would not be the place. We're warm and humid and pay about the same, maybe a little more. Good luck in finding something. Sounds like the Southwest is what your after, like California.

Where starting salaries are in the higher ranges, the cost of living is much higher as well. Just something to think about. And then your tax rate is also higher.

And hospitals offering large sign-on bonuses and enormous pay rates should also send up a red-flag. My nursing professor was telling us that these hospitals usually have HORRIBLE nurse-patient ratios, or perhaps horrible working conditions.
