I am LOL.. All of us Hoosiers can't wait to get out of Indiana...LOL! Indiana is a nice place to live and the cost of living is very low here, AZ is a bit higher but worth it with no cold winters there.. I am also thinking of the Chandler, Tempe and Surprize areas..I have been looking at maps trying to figure which areas are closer to shopping and Good hospitals. I think the Banner system sounds very nice and they have Magnet status, plus I see they pay more for any certifications like RNC..anyone have a clue how much more they pay for a RNC vs. RN. I am planning of getting my RNC at the current place I am working, plus I was thinking that it would be a great idea to also get my RNC in the OR, since I love working in the L&D OR on our unit.

Hi everyone! I am hoping some of you could help.. I am looking to relocate from Indiana to Arizona and I am needing to find a RN job in a good hospital in the Phoneix, Surprize AZ area. I am looking for suggestions of good places to work. I was looking on some job sites and there are so many jobs posted, so many to choose from compared to where I live. There are places here where I live where I would never want to work, as they are horrid places with no standards of care. I currently work in a 36 bed LDRP unit, we do all of our own C-sections and recovery. I am also trained to scrub, circulate and assist in the L&D OR. We have about 800-1,000 deliveries a year on our unit. I have 5 years L&D, maternal child and OR expereince. I currently have a RN licence in Indiana, what steps do I need to take to get my licence in AZ? Thanks for all of your help.
