Ohian possibly moving to Southern Illinois/St. Louis area. Are RNs fairing well jobwise and pay wise in those areas? Where is the best place in that region to work? I've been a RN 16 years now. Thanks Illinois!

Specializes in Specializes in L/D, newborn, GYN, LTC, Dialysis.

Grew up in NW Chicago and burbs. Started out in Jefferson Park and then moved to Des Plaines where I grew up to 18 when I joined the USAF. I sometimes (read SOMEtimes) miss Chicago terribly but August is NOT one of them -----nor is February.

The weather extremes are NOT a thing I miss. The people, food, feel of the place I DO miss terribly. Someday, I will make it back there for a visit.........and a GREAT gyro or Chicago hotdog or deep dish pizza only the Windy City can serve up. YUM.
