Bay Area has higher salaries but much higher cost of living so that should be factored into your thinking, as well as a higher tax base than where you currently are.

I was told by a nursing student at my work that Loma Linda University Hospital, San Bernerdino, CA will pay for your tution fees towards BSN if you sign a contract to work for the hospital after you graduate. I am not sure how many years you have to work. I know Loma Linda does not pay that well compared to the other hospitals. But if you are not too concern about money and want to finish your BSN I think it will be a good option.

While you go to school, you can also work per-diem as a RN for some extra cash...

I hope it will help you:)
