hi thanks for replying, to be honest id love to do travel psychiatric nursing ! however, i have heard that there is very little TRAVEL psych work available. I currently live in Bermuda, which is an hr or so from boston, so doing the nclex would there would be really convenient. I am Australian and in order for foriegn nurses to work in the usa we have to do the nclex. There you go,so if you have any info re wages/hospitals that pay well etc id love to hear from you cheers shane

hi, just checked in (5 mths or so after you replied to my letter lol) are these wages typical, or are they for nurses with 10-15 yrs exp. im pushing 6 yrs exp now. so i guess my question is , if i took the nclex in boston, passed ect would i be able to walk into a $28 - $30 hr job. Also, if i rented a 1 bedroom apartment in a SAFE area what do they cost a mth if you can recommend any psych hospitals id appreciate it thanks shane

hi im living with a colleague (female) that just returned from saudi. women have to be fully clothed(head to toe) ina black burka?...she felt highly restricted as compared with her usual feedoms as a female in new zealand. i emphasize the word highly. you rely on having social gatherings indoors (apparently its easier to socialise with males).She was culture shocked beyond belief. The pay is 11000 rdals a mth.and the temp is hot hot hotter than hell 100 deg

thanks a lot for that....id love to know specifically what you earn though ie hourly rate yearly income.......ill tell you why i want to know. in bermuda i make great money , so before i pack up and leave id like know if im going to be better off. once again thanks for your help shane

thanks luci shane

thankyou...................one last question. if you worked at other federal hospitals near you, would you earn the same amount . from what i see on this site wages vary a great deal. I get the picture that hospitals kind of decide what their own salaries are...or does the state determine hourly rates. thanks a lot for your help shane
