[NPInfo] CA RNs

[Rose Moran-Kelly]

I just received an email from a friend in SF to send to my almost new
graduate RN daughter.  The starting rate for a brand, spanking new RN
is $45 and change an hour with a 10%evening diff and 15% night diff.
I might join you out west to become a wealthy staff nurse..
