Jeff, My name is Jason and my mother was a ER nurse in Arizona for 30 years before retiring. The pay rates vary, but are within the mid 30's. The enviroment is awesome and sunny all year round. You have the decision of vacationing to California, Mexico, or even several different great locations within Arizona. The hospitals are always looking for nurses and are in need. I'm with a staffing company and could help you get some information if you want?
