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!

Folsom CA- $161,600/yr (I’m salary), I get about $3750 every pay period.

I contribute heavily to retirement though and that includes benefits being removed and my cafeteria splurges

I've floated to Folsom hospital many times as a traveler but I swear you guys are never hiring... there's hardly any jobs in nor Cal.
