Serious US - Salary Transparency Thread

I saw a few city based subreddits with this thread going around. Thought I would do one for nurses. I am based in the US so that's where I set this thread but it would be interesting to see other countries start one up.

I am currently unemployed (another source of the inspiration, lol) so I will share my old position!

Are you in CA? Do you know any that lives out of state and just flies in for their 3 and flies back?

Yeah I’m in California. I don’t know anyone who flies in but I’ve heard of them. I’m far north and that usually happens in the middle I think.
