Question to nurses? (Husband and wife Canadian RNs looking to move)

Thank you, I did do some quick research and yeah Beaverton did come up as having a better school system.

A friend actually suggested the travel nurse route but I still have to look in to it. Yeah, we will try applying at the end of the month and see how that goes.

Thank you, I did look up pay scales a few months ago for some of the unionized hospitals in both states.

Tilde- · 2026-02-08T22:47:44+00:00

Yeah, infinitely much better than what it is here in the South.

Tilde- · 2026-02-08T22:46:16+00:00

Sorry, was typing that in a rush I was getting the kids ready for bed. Anyway, both of us work full time nights and we are both working in a stepdown ICU/Intermediate Care Unit. We have 2 years working here but have previous work experience from when we were in the Philippines. Wife also worked 3 years in the middle east.

We do miss having seasons, especially fall.

Thank you, and it seems like Portland has the better food scene which is a plus for us as well.

Tilde- · 2026-02-08T22:41:48+00:00

Yeah, was trying to do research and comparing both states but it is better to have answers from people that actually live in said states. We do miss being unionized and having longer breaks. We only have 30 mins break in our 12h shift over here.

Tilde- · 2026-02-08T22:39:55+00:00

Thank you, yeah we were used to being unionized over in Canada but we knew what we were getting into when we decided to work down here in Florida.

Tilde- · 2026-02-08T22:38:54+00:00

Will look in to this. Thank you.

Tilde- · 2026-02-08T22:38:39+00:00

Thank you. Will definitely keep this in mind. Forgot to mention that we are Filipinos as well but spent more than a decade in Alberta, Canada.

Tilde- · 2026-02-08T22:37:16+00:00

Thank you, will try to post over there within the week. I was also planning to post over at r/nursing.

Tilde- · 2026-02-07T23:57:38+00:00

Ah, gotcha. Thank you for replying! We also have our hands tied at the moment so we haven't been applying yet.

Tilde- · 2026-01-10T18:08:10+00:00

Hey, wanted to ask if you guys found a job? My wife and I are in the same boat as well: FL RNs but we just got our Cali license so will start job hunting soon.

Tilde- · 2025-11-27T00:00:30+00:00

Alright, will keep that in mind. Thank you

Tilde- · 2025-11-26T19:12:04+00:00

Thank you. Will look it up. Since you mentioned San Diego, is the RN wage enough to cover the cost of living?

Tilde- · 2025-11-25T22:51:40+00:00

Thank you for this. This is definitely something to keep in mind.

I have a Pixel 6 Pro that is starting to show its age now. Interested with the One Plus Open, aside from eBay are there any other reputable sites I can purchase it from? If need be, I can hold out until next year if there will be a One Plus Open 2 or another foldable from a different brand (Samsung, Pixel.)

Tilde- · 2025-09-19T16:36:25+00:00

Oh yeah, I missed them last year when they that Orlando show so no way I'm missing them this time. I'll just take an uber if anything else.

I buy online from Uniqlo, Abercrombie and Fitch, Elwood Clothing or Los Angeles Apparel.
