Tranquility

25 years old and I felt like an old ladt in my class, most of the students were under 21!!!!

No Meghan, I have not made it down to Houston since 2003, hopefully this April we will be making the trip. Looking So Forward to it!! Another question: The utilities there are they expensive? and the heat can't possibly be the only down fall, can it?

Thanks, MeghanRN :) :) your insight was extremely helpful,to answer your question yes my second language is Spanish. I am so looking forward to a change! I hope houston is the place for us, it seems to have alot to offer, and seems very exciting.How was your intial transition from the North?

Sorry for such a late reply, I am a RN in Rochester. Pay depends entirely on how much experience you have, if you work in a program ie.. wknds only, per diem and where you work, starting pay: Hospitals $20-$21 per hr + shift diff/ Nursing Homes $ 21-22 per hr. However if you are contract in hospital with experience you can make $26-$28 per hour, or program like only wknds with a home care agancy you can make $37 per hour like me. I hope that helped! Oh ya! we don't pay our nurses based on AAS or BSN all experience!

What part of NY are you moving to?

Hello wonderfrul Nurses, Little History: I am a BSN prepared RN from Rochester NY, working in MICU, Psych Drug Rehab and Home care, WOW!!! I know 1 FT and 2 PT jobs any ways I am looking to move to Houston. I would really appreciate some locals great wise insight. 1) Is Sugarland a good place to move with my 13 and 5 year old ? My son has learning disability and requires special ed teacher how are the schools? 2) How is health insurance, costly? 3) Is pay higher for RN whom is bilingual,I currently have a wknd position making $37 per hour , is that possible there? 4) Do jobs offer educational reimbursement? 5) My husband has a HVAC business here and was hoping to relocate it there, do you think that field is in demand, d/t everyone having a/c in their homes? Thanks Guys, I appreciate this MUCHO!!!!!!:roll
