Hi there! Looking to relocate from Northern Michigan to Portland, OR. What are the best places to work for and what kind of benefits/ $$ are there? I know it's pricey to live right in Portland, but living is similar out here in MI with little pay. I have ACLS, PALS, BLS, and waiting for my TNCC class, if employers are willing to assist. I have over a year of RN experience in intermediate tele/ stroke as well as six months of ED experience (and counting). four years total in nursing altogether between LPN and RN. Thanks to everyone who comments!

I just obtained my RN licensure in Michigan. My mom is taking her NCLEX-RN in a month or so as well. We want to obtain a year experience in Michigan, but we are ready to get out. We keep searching good income: housing ratios around the US. Our hearts belong in San Diego, but realistically, what is it like living in SoCal as an RN or RN-BSN? We want to make good money, but also have some extra cash as well. We know Cali is a fairly expensive place to live, which we are prepared for, but it's that living comfortably in a desirable area is key. Looking for opinions from people who know or are currently living it! Thanks.
