n cal pays better than southern cal. oakland is now the highest paying. cal has high tax rates consider a company that has some kind of per diem (tax free money given to you in lieu of pay reducing your tax liability. ) per deim with hospitals in cal pays really well. 67 an hour walking in the door. apply on line to hospitals befor you go so you have something when you get there in addition to your travel assignment. you only have to do one day a week or 4 days a month to have per diem status with hospitals. i just left ucsf last week. they are the lowest paying in san fran, but the only place with 12 hour shifts. most in northern cal have 8 hours five days a week. stay away from the jobs with phillipino nurse managers cuz there are alot of those kind of nurses that you will work with under those managers and i nor anyone else that is not like they are does not have a good time.
