Hi guys:
I have been thinking to move to another states to escape Arizona heat. Not for sure where to go. Can you guys recommend some good states that RNs are treated well? Thanks. John

North Carolina has some nurse-friendly hospitals with safe, professional work environments. Just be choosy and research well before you commit.
NC sounds good. What are the other states?

Ohio also has some nurse-friendly hospitals...especially in the Columbus area. I agree with Vicky, just make sure you research the hospitals well before you commit to one!!

I didn't realize this was a state thing. I thought it varied by facility.
It is varied greatly by facility.... I personally think that every state has some great hospitals, but you need to research each facility before getting yourself into one that isn't nurse-friendly.

MN. If you can tollerate the cold. We're number one for pay with cost of living adjustment. I'm always thinking how nice I have it when I read threads here about pt ratios, etc..

The Boston area has some great hospitals that treat nurses well. The pay is good, but the cost of living is through the roof.

I know that Seattle hospitals have great RN retention rates. Check out www.swedish.org or one of the other great hospitals in Seattle.
