Would you leave a state for another state with safer patient ratio (and move family as well)? Especially if your current job is unsafe and you have horrible supervisors.
I would consider doing that. The reason I moved out to California from the east coast as a traveling nurse is because the nurse to patient ratios weren’t safe. California has a ratio law that protects us. So that is the reason I stayed and raised my kids out here .
Yes. This industry will burn you out. You have to think long term, a job is just a job.
Yes! I'm in this to help people, not put them and myself at risk.
Yes especially if it’s good neighborhood and schools. Check out the area before moving but if it’s good then GO!!
Yes. I would also consider a hospital with Nursing Unions.
Definitely
It definitely would be one of the considerations. I have little tolerance for unsafe working conditions and poor leadership.
Darla,yes I would in a minute
Yes!
Yes
I love where live, having unsafe patient ratio and horrible supervisors on the other hand is not good. Wish we can have safe patient ratio where I live and better leader, not just hiring managers with no prior bedside experience. Thats what make the so horrible not knowing what it's like to place oneself in one's shoes, empathy, because they've never been there .
Yes,depending on what age my children are and which grades they are in school. It would not be ideal, but if I was in a small or limited market (only one employer in town) I would consider it.
Initially, yes, I would, but you must explore all options which is beneficial to yourself and your family
I am from South Dakota. Have spent the last 9 years working as a travel RN to find the BEST environment for work as a nurse, but also where patients get the BEST healthcare. (I am in my 50’s now). California is the best place for us. There is also a new law here that allows anyone over 50 to apply for Medicaid when no longer working. So healthcare expenses will not bankrupt your spouse/family or cause them to lose their home. I’ve saved my whole life, but my partner not so much! I worry I will outlive him and retirement funds may run out before we’re both gone…

No; I am fortunate to be in an ICU with 1:2 ratio and good management.
