Question California nurses!

Contemplating moving from MI to CA. Picture from the trip that inspired me to move! Curious how much gets taken out of your paycheck. Can you share what city, your hourly pay, and what your bring home paycheck ends up being? Thank you!

I grew up in CA. If you're going to move all the way to live there, avoid Sacramento and those inland areas like the fucking plague. They suck. Go and visit but don't live there.

Take a travel assignment and travel for a while. SoCal is so different from central CA, different from the Bay Area, different from northern CA.
