Relocate to Sunny California?????

Published

Hello to all!

I am an RN in a level II NICU hospital located in west Texas. I am in a desperate need of change, I would like to relocate myself and my family to sunny California. Does anyone know of any good web sites or personal suggestions on a good place to call home? I was thinking San Franscisco, but I hear the cost of living is outrageous. Help anyone?

No need to kiss my ring...bowing in my presence will suffice....:bowingpur

Meanwhile, back at the ranch...

I'm a California native who moved to Texas about a year and a half ago. I was born and raised in Ventura County, which is in coastal Southern California, located about 60 miles north of Los Angeles. I lived in Bakersfield (Central California) from 2003 to 2005, and loved it.

Your pay rate will dramatically increase, and it is possible to earn over $100,000 per year as a bedside RN in certain regions. However, the cost of living is outrageous, and you will probably be renting an apartment, because the houses range from $275,000 in the San Joaquin Valley to about $700,000 in the San Francisco Bay area.

I did give the op some info about a Level III NICU where I live. And a weather report. Having some other info about the mindset of Californians is a good idea too - the fact is people think of CA as Hollywood and actors . . .and we are a very diverse state with big cities, farms, coastal towns, deserts, mountains . . .. .we are conservative, liberal, moderate, etc.

THIS is what I"M talking about . . . . . .
