If you are a nurse...California is the best state you can possibly work in from a wages standpoint. California nurses are by far the best paid nurses in the country.


That's true, except weirdly enough, in the Stanford system. Another electrician friend of mine from Rochester, N.Y. brought his girlfriend, who's a nurse, out to the Valley. She's really good at what she does, and is loving the wages. But she was shocked when she was first looking around and saw how little Stanford paid compared to the other hospitals in the region. If I remember correctly, I think she said it's because they're classified as a 'teaching' hospital.

She'll still benefit from things made possible due to the nursing unions there.


Never lived or worked there, but knew many travelnurses that worked there. They raved about how nurses in CA get automatic overtime anytime they work 8 hours in one day(so that is 4 hours of overtime for every 12 hour shift you work...which is usually the standard shift at a hospital). Also...California is one of the few states that has mandatory nurse to patient ratio laws.

So means nurses in CA are paid much better than any other state and have better working conditions.
