Hi all, I am an Irish nurse who's been thinking a lot recently about relocating to the US.I obtained my diploma in general adult nursing in Ireland and I then moved to Scotland and obtained BN mental health nursing and I am now hoping to do my Masters after the New Year.
Being bluntly honest I am feeling that I’ve put a lot of time and energy into my career and now that I’m on the payroll I feel like just another number and I’m more and more feeling like there is no thanks or support in my line of work. So to(finally) get to the point...I want a change! Id really appreciate any advise that anyone could give me about working in the US...California in particular seems the appeal to me. I’m starting from the beginning so information on registering in Californa,healthcare,wages,general relocation advise,Nclex etc...any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Hi
I would post the same question under the state of California here in the Forum since that is your choice state so far. I think nurses that live or have worked there could help you better with your questions. All I know is that California is a very expensive state to live in, but their nursing wages are somewhat higher compared to the other states -- to make up somehow for the cost of living. Nursing Aide Training Centers are the heart of the healthcare industry because they will be preparing the next generation of healthcare professionals for the immense challenge of caring for the retiring baby boomers. Fortunately, there will be no shortage of people signing up for the training because there tends to be higher-than-average turnover in this field as it tends to be a stepping stone for those looking for a career in nursing or the medical field in general.
