    USFguy posted a topic in International Nursing

    If you are US citizen and live in Canada as a Canadian Permanent Resident, but work across the border in the US, do you pay taxes on your US income to the US and Canada? I pose the question because...

  2. US citizen living in Canada (Canadian Permanent Resident) and working in US

    USFguy replied to USFguy's topic in International Nursing

    Thanks so much for all the helpful info. I think your right about it not being worth it. I might as well take upon two jobs over in BC then take the time to work in washington. I don't like the...

    USFguy posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    I will graduating soon from USF (University of San Francisco) and I am really considering relocating to Houston mainly out of affordability. Plus I here Houston is pretty liberal (not as much as San...

  5. Should this native californian move to Houston, Texas?

    USFguy replied to USFguy's topic in Texas Nursing

    Well, thanks for being real. I guess all the people I've been talking to have been straight so I am glad to hear the perspective of a gay texan. Looks like I get the best "bang for my buck" as a nurse...

  6. Should this native californian move to Houston, Texas?

    USFguy replied to USFguy's topic in Texas Nursing

    That's sad to hear. I have live in America's gay capital and I still get looks and stares if I show public affection for my partner. Granted I might not be as likley to be beaten for it (although San...

  7. Should this native californian move to Houston, Texas?

    USFguy replied to USFguy's topic in Texas Nursing

    I love USF. I did my pre-reqs at Laney college. I went here because I didn't have any degree and wanted a university experience and to get a BSN and MSN. The MEO program does not grant you a BSN, only...

  8. How in the world do you make it in CA?

    USFguy replied to IndyGypsyNurse's topic in California Nursing

    All true. Thanks everyone for weighing in. I really do have to think this thing through more. Maybe Texas is not the best thing to jump into. Perhaps I'd be better off in a semi-rural area like you....

  9. How in the world do you make it in CA?

    USFguy replied to IndyGypsyNurse's topic in California Nursing

    Thanks for the advice. I will definitely visit a few times before I decide on the move to houston. I am also considering other locales such as ohio, florida, arizona, and oregon. Houston is coming...

  10. Should this native californian move to Houston, Texas?

    USFguy replied to USFguy's topic in Texas Nursing

    Thanks for the info. I am really scared of moving but at the same time excited about living somewhere new. The housing there seems incredible. I was looking at some homes online and I can't believe...

  11. How in the world do you make it in CA?

    USFguy replied to IndyGypsyNurse's topic in California Nursing

    Supply and demand? Yeah, that's part of it, but so is inflation and speculation. Just because something is priced high doesn't mean you are getting high quality. I'm sure the dress at Ross is just as...

    My point

  13. How in the world do you make it in CA?

    USFguy replied to IndyGypsyNurse's topic in California Nursing

    I here ya. I really am fed up with CA. It's the fakeness and sugar-coating (no one is for real--more so in LA), the constant rat-race, the traffic, and most, the enormous cost of living. I guess I...

  14. How in the world do you make it in CA?

    USFguy replied to IndyGypsyNurse's topic in California Nursing

    You may not have to do OT to pay your RENT(notice you say rent and not mortgage) but I wonder how much you actually have left over every month to put away for retirement and a home. Unless you are...

  15. How in the world do you make it in CA?

    USFguy replied to IndyGypsyNurse's topic in California Nursing

    Talk about pollution--have you ever visited L.A.! The smog is horrible. The roads are cracked and filled with potholes in both SF and LA because no state money goes in to infrastructure. The public...

  16. How in the world do you make it in CA?

    USFguy replied to IndyGypsyNurse's topic in California Nursing

    I was born and raised in california and lived on both ends of the state (SF bay area and LA metro area). The pay out here is high and you can make it if renting is fine with you. I remember some...

    USFguy replied to nursemike's topic in Men in Nursing

    Are talking about University of San Francisco (where I go) or University of South Florida? I get alot of people thinking USF stands for the latter. I think there is also a University of Saint Francis,...

  20. Doc Wannabe?

    USFguy replied to nursemike's topic in Men in Nursing

    I have been looking into the osetopathic approach to medicine and I agree that it is more in line with the nursing model as opposed to the medical model. From what I have researched, it seems that...

  23. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    USFguy replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I really find it hard to believe nurses are fighting tooth and nail to keep their education at the Associate Degree level!! It is mind boggeling!! It's like your'e all proud to be on the bottom rung...
