salary ranges in tucson

[madhatter]

hello, i am thinking of moving to tucson, but want to get an idea of nursing salaries and what places are good to apply at and which ones to avoid. i have 12 years in nursing, med/surg, neruo, home health and current in endoscopy. also, would love to establish a pen pal with a nurse out there just to have a contact person to pick their brain. thanks for any help.

I was born and raised in Tucson. I now live in Phoenix. I would say to steer clear of Kino. Nothing but troubble out there. Plus it is on the south-side. Univ. Med. is supposed to be good, as well as Tucson Med Center. I had m y daughter @ TMC, it was a bad experience, but that was 10 years ago, and the have made a lot of improvements.

Currently I am volunteering @ Paradise Valley Hospital in Phoenix. I was supposed to be in endoscopy, but time ran short with paper work going through

(my fault). It is a real nice hospital. I could tell you more of pros and cons between Tucon and Phoenix if you'd like. My e-mail [email protected]

I go down to Tucon 1-2 times a month to visit freinds.

Also look at the Arizona forum.
