Los Angeles Emergency Departments (and a helpful LA hospital map)

Your knowledge and advice is greatly appreciated.

I'm moving from NYC to LA May 1st, 2017. I've thoroughly paged through the forums, but haven't found much information on ER jobs in LA County. I have friends in the Hollywood/West LA area, but I'm open to working downtown or Santa Monica if the right opportunity presents itself.

Does anyone have any insight into the better ERs to work in Los Angeles? I have 5 years ER experience so I hope to land interviews but still need some help narrowing down my list of hospitals. It seems like my best bets are Cedars-Sinai, Kaiser Sunset, and UCLA. Has anyone had a phenomenal or terrible ER nursing experience in LA that they could share? Thank you thank you!

Here's my current LA Hospital List on Google Maps: Los Angeles Hospitals

I really wouldn't recommend moving to southern Cali.

I was in Orange County and in ICU, all I can tell you is salary isn't really great for the cost of living. I had a coworker who came from cedars Sinai resort and she had a great experience. Sorry to not be of more help

Thanks for the replies. My girlfriend works in TV/film, so Los Angeles is the only option (besides NYC). And honestly, anywhere in the United States has a better cost of living than Manhattan. My current rent is $3,700 for a 1-BR apartment on the Upper West Side.

Any other insights into LA hospitals or LA emergency departments? And for those with experience, how was your move to LA?
