Hi! I grew up in Santa Rosa, Ca... and have been really wanting to go back. The housing costs are beyond insane. the house next to my parents sold for half a million - it is only about 1200 sq ft and about 30 yrs old. Nice neighborhood though. There are plenty of RN positions available - like most of the country. Try St. Josephs - or what was known as Memorial Hospital. go to http://www.stjosephhealth.org/santarosa/ Hope this helps.
