Thank you guys for the input, I am moving to Seattle next month. Have three more questions, please help out. 1. How long it takes to get an endorsement license in Washington? 2. How is nursing shortage situation in Seattle area? Is that pretty hard to find a RN job in Seattle? Do I have to be in Seattle physically to get a job? I got my present job in Arizona through phone interview. 3. Working at a Med/Surg floor with 1.5 year experience, how much I will be paid in Seattle? I have to consider this as I have kids. Thanks Again! AJ

Thank you all for your reply. I did a lot of search, I believe Texas is my best choice to move into when I consider pay, housing and opportunities. Hopefully, some hospitals are willings to pay for airline tickets for me to go there for interview. Is that possible? Normally, how many patient you have on med/surg or tele floor in Dallas area? Thank you. Amy

Hi: I am relocating to Dallas area now, is that possible to land a job in Dallas before I move there? I am trying to get a job through phone interview. I got my current RN job through phone in Arizona. Maybe RN jobs in Dallas aren't that hot so I have to move there first to get a job? Thank you for your advice. Amy

I think you get more money if you only rent in california, especially in Bay Area. If you buy a house, Cali is much more expensive than Washington. I have a thought about going to Cali for a year for quick money. AJ

Thank you for all good input. Anyone can give a specific hourly pay for 1.5 year experience for med/surg RN in a Seattle hospital? I have to get to be specific as I have two kids to take care. Thank you! AJ

I heard it is hard to get a med/surg job in Seatlle, Is that true? I only have one and half year experience. The pay is low in Seattle, I will be paid about $24/hr? This is what I heard. Any input? Thanks! AJ

Hi folks: My family is thinking about moving to L.A or San Francisco area. I have one and half year experience in Med/Sug, Can anyone tell me how much I will be getting paid if I move to those areas? Have a family, have to think about this. Thank you for your helps. Amy

20/hr is low pay for me, I will rethink about moving to dallas if that is the case. With 1.5 yr expeperienc, I am getting paid 23.5/hr at a phoenix hospital med/sug floor. Anymore opinons? Thanks! Amy

I will like to work at a dallas local hospital on a med/surg floor with my one and half year nursing experience. How much they will pay RN like me then? Appreciate your answers very much, thanks! Amy.
