I currently live in Phoenix, AZ and was planning on moving to NC in a yr when I get some experience. I can't take the hot weather anymore! I thought Phx. was really bad with our salary starting at 27/hr since north California starts as high as 50/hr. Now I see that there is much worse. I am dissapointed because I have been really wanting to move to the southeast for yeearrs.
What do you guys recommend instead taking the low salary? Per Diem? Agency contract? Local traveling?
I am currently living in Las Vegas, and working F/T making $32/hour with 3 yrs experience in ER. I contacted Duke in NC, and they quoted $21.55/hour!
Don't tell me the COL is THAT much lower in NC than NV!! I was looking online at housing and can't find anything reasonable for less than $250,000 - there's no way I could afford that making $21/hour!!
Any suggestions on other hospitals that may pay more? Other states that are nice with good school districts??
Any help would be greatly appreciated - we are looking to move May 2009, but are still open to suggestions to locations!
Thanks,
Amanda
Amanda why are you leaving Las Vegas? It's on one of my possible relocation cities after I get a few years experience.
