I'm an ER RN at a magnate hospital in SoCal and am looking to relocate to San Francisco/Oakland early 2016. I'll be entering an online DNP program and need increased funds to pay for it. For any RNs in San Fran/Oakland area (specifically Kaiser if possible) I have a few questions! 1. Are jobs readily available for per diem rns? 2. What is per diem pay in San Fran/your hospital for a 2 year experienced RN II? With/without diff? (Or please post your pay/exp) 3. Is OT readily available 4. Is the ability to pickup extra shifts readily available? (Id ideally like to work 40 hours/week). Thank you for all your help. I understand difference in cost of living, I just need more solid information on pay to do the calculations.
