Anyone know anything about current demand for RNs?

My sister will be graduating at the end of December with her BS in nursing. Lately she's been talking about how she's going to move to California because it's really easy to get a job as a nurse there and nurses start out at over 50 dollars an hour and as an RN she doesn't really do much work, she pretty much just delegates work to LPN's. She really has it in her head that she'll basically sit behind a desk all day and just tell everyone what to do. She'll also be almost 40 with her only real experience in the medical field was taking people's blood pressure and weighing them at a doctor's office for a couple of years.

Does she have her sights set a bit high here or does all of this sound likely? I wish her the best and all I just hope she won't be disappointed because she plans to move to California a couple of weeks after graduation and to my knowledge hasn't even looked for a job there yet much less has she been offered a one.

Also her husband has it in his head he's going to move there and make 30 dollars an hour as a tow truck driver.

well, she'll be in California, so if the nursing doesn't work out, you know, there's always porn.


(I apologize)

[Tgo01]

There's porn in California?

I hate tow trucks, so by association, I also hate your brother in law.

Where did the bad tow truck touch you?

RNs = medical field = constant/increasing demand

Both my parents were RNs for, I dunno, 30+ years. For the most part it's not a walk in the park or a sit behind a desk job, especially if she's new to the field.

On my undercarriage. From my own numbered parking spot. Where I had my parking pass placed exactly where it was supposed to be.

Let's see how that holds up with the ACA and socialized healthcare.

I knew a dude that was an RN on an offshore oil rig. Made pretty damn good money. He stayed out for like 6 months at a time though.
