So, I guess he drove his car from Georgia to Chicago, then to California? I was an independent software engineer 22 years ago from DC, who took contracts in Long Island, Manhattan and back in DC. I stayed regional. My ex at the time was a BSN who followed me from NC where we graduated from college to the DC area after a year. About a year after that, she told me if she could do it again, she'd have relocated as a travel nurse. Now, I'm making sure the young nurses I know are aware of the tremendous financial opportunity available to them. "First I'm gone stack my flow, Then I'm gone stack some more," - Jeezy.

My main concern is that housing has become unaffordable in so many markets for highly skilled RNs to buy a home in or semi-near the communities they serve. Since your income is nearly 3 times the median income (which is awesome, nice work). I really do not see how there is any problem with your income, but more so the housing prices have become unaffordable for the majority of Americans who do not already own a home. The housing prices need to come back down to reality (pun intended).

Hey… I’m a UK based RN and I have been a job that pays $31-35 per hour in Ithica, New York and I’m contracted to work there for 3 years. This is a direct hire and they are only paying for my flight and visa fees, but not my family. Is this worth it? I’m thinking of using as a stepping stone to my journey to do nursing in the USA.

I know a Travel Nurse in my hospital (East Bay area in California) who is from Canada. I think she said the Travel Company sponsored her. She has to stay with them, but she told me she has been with them a few years and is now in the process of getting her US Citizenship. Smart girl, because she has already bought a home in Florida, which you don’t have to pay state income tax if that is your home State. The company she uses is called CrossCountry. But I’m sure if this travel company sponsors nurses, others would too. Good Luck!

Btw, Ithica is considered “Upstate NY.” It doesn’t pay as well as the NYC area. But it’s also a lot cheaper than NYC. I’m originally from NYC. Made my way to California as a travel nurse. Now I’m a California girl ;-)

So let me get this right, this guy earns $140/hr, which means if he works a normal 40 hr week that is about $300k a year ($140 x 40 weeks x 52 weeks). Travel nurses are making $300k a year? Wow.

If you haven't realized it by now, there are thousands of articles and news stories of nurses earning hundreds of thousands per year. It sounds like your opinion is that nurses should not be allowed to work in hospitals that pay them what they think they deserve to get paid because it will make them look like they are only doing it for the money. Have you not considered that they get paid more in California because the cost of living is astronomical and these hospital systems don't want nurses to live in poverty like they do in every other state? That is why most hospitals in California are unionizing. So, you may have your opinion, but nurses have a desire, just like almost every other employee in this country, to earn enough money so they don't have to live paycheck to paycheck.

Since the pandemic and people saying how much money they made nurses are targets,not just by random people but by family.

It depends on ur specialty. If u work ICU, OR, L&D or Peds @ a Trauma Level I hospital, I recommend 2 yrs. If u work Med Surg, 1 yr is cool. U will learn as u go. I've seen experienced nurses come travel & r limited on what they know based on where they came from. If u come from a facility where u get a plethora of patients and illnesses, u'll b fine. All hospitals r not the same. Come n ready & willing 2 learn & put ur best foot 4ward. What u know...stand on. What u don't, take advantage of the learning opportunities.
