MiketRN

Hi I am currently in the process of relocating to Southern California. I am currently a RN and I will most likely be working in Orange County (Fountain Valley), but I was trying to find some information with apartments. I noticed that Fountain Valley is about 45 min give or take from LA. Although I would really love to live in LA i really would not want to make that commute back and forth everyday for work. So I was wondering if there were any nice areas that were between the two that I would be able to look into. Any responses would be great. Please keep rude and sarcastic comments to yourselves. Seeking real advice. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply! And yes I have heard a lot of good things about Houston. Was it hard trying to find a job? I started at 27 + 2 shift diff at my current place of employment. Was hoping to stay at that pay rate or go higher. And what parts of Houston would you reccomend?

Thanks for your info... Kind of expected it to be higher. Seems like its the same for hospitals here but more in the nursing homes/rehab

hi, my name is mike and i just recently became an rn. (july 20) i was a lpn for over 5 years. i currently live in cleveland ohio. one thing i was wondering is how much do new grads start at in houston? also do the hospitals there hire new grads? i currently work for heartland and plan to transfer there just until i can get into the hospital. i really want to get into traveling nursing but i know most agencies require at least 1 year hospital experience. houston will be a big move for me especially since i know absolutely no one there, but i'm 24 and just want to live life and take some chances. so with that being said i also wanted to know what parts of houston are nice and affordable to live? all responses are welcome and thanks in advance!
