can you explain to me your grading system. im in the uk. whats the highest, lowest and failing grade and does that translate into numbers.

thinking of riverside, ca, is that a nice area. any big hospitals out there. can anyone tell about unionized and non-unionised hospital? can any one tell me what good benefits i should be getting from a reputable hospitals? any specific tertiary hospitals within the area. cardiac icu is my area and my wife is a surgical nurse

thanx jokerhill, my only concern is my wife and kids will be coming along with me when we emigrate, so i have to get it right the first time, i dont think moving from one hospital to another every 13 weeks will be feasible although a great idea indeed. my wife is anurse as well by the way.

just a thought, if you accidentally dropped a patients drug ampoule or vial will i that come out of my pay? i work here in the uk and i'm always careful but accidents do happen. here in the uk we dont get charged for it but considering that most healthcare providers in the states are private or thru health insurance will i be paying for it?

thanks for your response busylady61, you're busy yet managed to give me the info...lol..thanx for understanding

message from sunnyjohn Texas can be VERY hot in the summer. VERY,VERY Hot! It is a very conservative state. I think of my self a "conservative liberal' and I loved Texas. Good Luck.[/quote] many thanks for your reply, i like to work somewhere warmer and light compared to england but dont want the extreme opposite. a moderate climate would do, i know heres loads hence i just narrowed my choices downto just florida or california. thanks a lot anyway

many thanks for all your response guys. greatly appreciated. just a follow up question to the COMMUTER. worked for 9 years, 4 years in critical care, would they consider all those experiences when you apply in critical care unit in ca? your salary range is huge 28-40? with the above experience how much shoul i negotiate, particularly within the la, oc region? many thanks in advance.

thanks a lot, i dont want to sound lazy or anything but i really had browse quite a bit of thread here on this website, all i get is bits of info on all sorts of thing. i thought posting one with a specific question will get me straight answers just looking on this thread. my wife has been laughing coz i spend to much time looking at different threads every single day ove the last two weeks. and it is time consuming. there could be something wrong with my search skills but it really does take a lot of time. honestly. appreciate all you guys that has responded

i know, im really sorry about that. been trying to browse this site for ages and just getting bits of info. i thought if i ask something specific i'll get a specific response after all we're nurses - and are good in documentation/communication

thanks busyladt, i hope so.

hello everyone. im a filipino nurse currently working in the uk for over 7 years now. im thinking of moving to south california (l.a., orange county, riverside) or clearwater florida for a better weather. i've been nursing for over 9 years now, 4 years in critical care. i would like to find out what an rn's average salary and cost of living. the reason why i posted it here is i thought the best people to ask would be those who actually live in the area im interested in. i shall post the same thread in the california forum as well. i hope the moderators will understand this. would anyone be kind enough to tell me their nurse pay as well as their monthly outgoings. this would just give me a better idea of what a cost of living is like. i do appreciate that it will entirely be different from one person to the other depending on their lifestyle but im hoping this will give me some idea and hopefully help me in making my decisions. summary of what i want to find is as follow Income rn salary per hour bi-monthly pay appreciate it if anyone can give me their annual salary and corresponding tax deductions (federal tax and state income tax) Monthly Outgoings house rental ( 3-4 bedroom) Utilities gas electric water council tax or equivalent phone bills etc. car insurance . me and my wife (considering we're just new in the states) health insurance (family of four) malpractice insuranc? groceries family entertainment (theme park, theatre, cinema etc.) dining out anything else you can add please feel free. your response will be greatly appreciated many thanks once again
