I am looking for any and all information regarding competitive pay and the housing market in Victoria or surrounding areas. Currently I work in Alaska and the Cost of living has become unbearable. I make great money but it does not seem to go very far. My parents live in Victoria and I would like to be close to them since they are getting older, plus I have two teenagers! I have been a nurse for seven years and have ER-CCU and PACU experience. What would be a reasonable negotiation/expectation for salary? I am currently making 37.00/hr. Thank you!!
