I'm not in California, in Alabama. Was wanting to hire a few of the good nurses from the hospital for my clinic, and asked them what the hospital paid them to see if I could afford it. I have many friends that are nurses that have told me, and know many that travel because the pay is sometimes as much as twice the hospitals in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia.

The $60 an hour starting pay out in Cali is obviously the most out of anywhere but it also has the highest cost of living in the country. Finding a RN job in the large urban areas of Cali is almost impossible for new grads and you have to have a BSN not an ASN to even get considered. I find that throughout the South (I am in Knoxville)that the starting base rate is 18-30. Like you said, travel nurses in the South can make big bucks by living in a low cost area and taking jobs where the pay is almost double.
