Thank you all for elaborating on this topic. It really helped me gain some perspective. Now Inknow that Riverside is not as appealing as I thought it to be. Amongst the other places, I know Bakersfield is kinda far away from everything else. HOw about any of the other locations????? Are any of the locations affordable as of today?? but at the same time decently closer to the bigger cities.

I have looked at the Forbes magazine and INC. reports for this past 2 years, and after a lot of reasearch, I found the following cities as the most "affrodable": Visalia Modesto Fresno Stockton Bakersfield Riverside As an RN who always wanted to live in CA, this info raises my hopes... Could anyone provide more info on these areas or tell us which is the better of these places in terms of affordablitiy and living conditions. Thanks, RN

Hi, Are there any PT programs for RN's? Your help is greatly appreciated. DeepNurse

I have a near chance of getting a job offer at Mount Sinai in Miami, as I interviewed with the recruiter today. Are there any areas near Miami that are decent but yet not so high in living expenses. THe starting salary for new grads at Mt. Sinai is under $22 and I don't think downtown living will be suitable financially. (incl. my husband) Please help with this request. Thank You, Nurse.

Hi, I am an International Nurse who will graduate next month from an American University. Does anybody know if there are any GC sponsoring employers in the Houston area Texas or New Orleans/Houma area in Louisiana ? I am looking for decent pay but most importantly someone who can pay for the GC expenses. Please help. I called so many hospitals but not getting good responses. In the event that you do not know about Hospitals in these areas, are there any Agency Nursing firms that do this ?? Please Help.. DeepNurse

Hi, I am re-locating to Texas the end of the year and have an opportunity to choose from one of the major cities. I am looking at Austin/Dallas/Houston currently but open to any other place that might offer good opportunities. I have a couple of questions: 1. What is the best paying area in Texas (Austin/Dallas/Houston or someplace else) for BSN trained RN's? I guess I am also considering decent cost of living :) 2. I am a new grad. Will I have a problem finding a job with a decent salary? Thank you so much for your help .... :)
