What state should I move to now the Washington State legislature is trying to force me to work seven days a week? (HB 1155)

[Capp]

Does anybody have any insight into the best states for nurses as far as pay, cost of living, etc?

I agree with Wuzzie. There is no reason for the OP to be so completely enraged because someone had the audacity to suggest she read the bill (very short reading btw) that is the subject of her thread. Completely unnecessary to continue on in this vein.

I’m confused. Can you quote where the OP stated she was so completely enraged? [Reference to your previous post, not actually asking.]

Pointing out obvious hypocrites like you doesn’t mean I’m enraged.

Lol, you're so angry over something so small you can hardly control yourself. Please try to re-familiarize yourself with the TOS before the mods close your thread.

I remember elementary school well enough to recognize your style of behavior and that you are trying to make me angry, but you are not succeeding.

To answer the OP's question, if I were younger I would definitely move out of Washington, which is becoming more and more Californiaized all the time. I suggest Utah, Idaho or Wyoming.

Well, that escalated quickly. Good luck, OP. I hope, for your sake, the bill dies a swift and painless death.

I think the chances of the elimination of the 12 hour day passing are slim to none. Much ado about nothing imo as it relates to that part of the bill.

Are there reasons why those states are good for nurses or do you just like that part of the country?

I had actually been researching Wyoming a bit because I had seen in a couple of places that land can be really cheap there.

By “Californiaized” I assume you mean “liberal”?

They are already in the process of returning this bill to its original form.

Senator Walsh basically stated that she wasn't all that serious about eliminating the 12 hour day. She just wanted to get her digs in.

We don't want the bill to die, only that horrid woman's amendment.

My understanding is the original bill passed in the house, then was changed by the Senate. Was she the author of the changed Senate bill?

Cost of living, more libertarian approach to individual liberty, plentiful outdoor recreational opportunities.
