I'm emergrating to states..where should I live?

Denver Colorado– the Mile High City.

One of the highest quality of living in the United States, excellent transportation, schools, health care, and a park system unmatched.

The mountains and snow skiing are within just a few hours, and there is some fantastic nightlife in Denver. There are some really nice suburbs on the outskirts of town if you wish for a quieter pace and small town living.

My sister is a 1st year neo-natal nurse in Tampa, Florida. And she tells me that starting pay for her job is about $22 dollars an hour. She works 12 hour shifts, usually 4 days a week. She has good benefits, healthcare insurance, and the lot. Excellent benefits.

For holidays, it all depends on your seniority and the shift that you work– day or night. Federal and official holidays in the USA are New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas Day.

Of course, as a nurse you’ll get paid holidays and time off. My sister says as a 1st year nurse, she will not receive any paid time holday until her first year is complete. After that she will get 1 week. Three years she’ll get 2 weeks off, and 7 years she’ll get 3 weeks. But she also told me that regardless, you will get personal days for illness/sick starting your first day on the job.

I hope this helps you.

P.S.— Welcome to the United States. We welcome you.

Definitely the east coast. I live in Pennsylvania, outside of Philadelphia. Lots of hospitals in which to work with pretty good salaries, I must say. You get to experience the change of seasons and there are a lot of lovely communities. We are also close to the Jersey shore, New York, Washington DC. To answer a few of your questions: the salaries are usually based on your years of experience, but that can quickly increase with yearly reviews/raises. Shifts can vary: where I work we have 4, 8 and 12 hour shifts and we rotate holidays. We have health benefits, but you do have to pay into them (not much, though). Feel free to send me an email if you have any more questions. I would love to help.

dont move to the usa because pot isnt legal =)

I wouldnt live in a big place like new york city or anywhere, its dangerous for kids and it is really crowded, so you probably couldnt have a pool. I agree with emmaliearcade, Pennsylvania is a great place to live. you can have a pool and it is a pretty populated state, so you can have a busy working enviorment, plus your kids can have snow still and there are some fun accents around her. : ) Pittsburgh is probably better than the philidelphia side, because they are known for their crime and, having kids, you dont want to be around that. winters are cold but not feezing, summers are warm, the leaves change in autumn, and spring brings lots of pretty flowers and sights. there are good public and private schools around here also. good luck!

I would say live on the east coast. like in maryland, pennsylvania, new jersey, virginia. they’re all good. the weathers nice cause its not too hot in the summer and its not to cold in the winter.

MIAMI!!! lol well that might be a little 2 excessive.. but like somewhere in south or central Florida. great weather, and coral reef highschool in Miami is a great school. and f.c. martin is a great school 4 the 7 year old. f,c leads 2 ammons middle whichleads 2 coral reef. that’s if your children are good students. ;) goodluck!!!

urgghhh I hate british weather! no, I want waaarm to hot hot hot weather - cossies and pool for the kids…plus, I just feel better with the sun :)

I personaly would suggest you try living in Maryland. It is semi-warm, but not to hot. It is also close to D.C, but does have a suburban feel. Much luck :]

I would look seriously at Florida - great weather - cities that suit your size - opportunities in medicine…I wish you the best and Welcome to America - glad to have you !!

no, I really want to live in states. I live in britain, so been to france about a million wimes (ok, not a million, but six, same difference!) and I’m not keen at al on france - in fact, there isn’t one bone in my body that desires to live there!

A) they speak frenc, and I don’t

and B) horrible memories of school trips come flooding back lol! I’m please you enjoyed it though, I think france, like many countries, where you love it or hate it…like marmite lol!

thanks for replying though, but I know I want to go to states (maybe canada???) definately no where else though… (aussies got too many spiders and snakes arrggg)

:)

Pennsylvania has pretty good nursing schools, and things like that, we get all 4 seasons here.. spring, summer, winter, and fall. Our summers can get up to the 100’s, and winters can get down to -5ish. It is also pretty cheap to live here, with some beautiful houses. Pittsburgh would probably be the best place for you in Pennsylvania… or if you dont want to be right in a big city, there are a bunch of little towns all around Pittsburgh.. plus, its amazing here :] I am a bit biased though.

well, it really depends on your tastes. I live in california. cost of living is high, but so is the pay. there’s still lots of places with a small town feel, yet there’s millions of people here, so lots of business. the weather’s great. -east coast weather is very humid. if you’re used to that, than go for it, but if you’re not, you’ll wish you were dead, it’ll be so hot (or cold, depending on the season.) I think oregon weather is similar to britain. and it has small towns, with big towns nearby. you might try there…

port land oregon is perfect

u can try like in big citys like South Carolina and Georiga
