What's with all the jobs in California all of a sudden? Is everyone leaving the state?

There are always more jobs in California due to the Nursing Ratios set by law in that state. Lots of nurses are working to set the same ratios in every state.

Nurses Lobby Congress for Patient Care Change:"Nurses from around the country are in Washington today lobbying for legislation that would change patient care policies and require hospitals to hire more nurses. They're seeking mandatory nurse-to-patient ratios similar to those of California. But they're getting very little Republican support for the idea."

I wish I could get some good pay offers in CA!! Wanting to go in July, but pay is just not enough for me to go that far from my family in Alabama!! Know any companies who are giving good pay rates?

I'm currently east of Sacramento and I take the housing stipend etc because I have a home in Indiana.....My pay is excellent and the hospital is a small community hospital that is wonderful. People are kind and helpful. I would suggest Flex Care staffing. They are out of Roseville, CA and they will take care of you.
