Living in Phoenix, AZ

Phoenix drops you into the Sonoran Desert — hike Camelback Mountain before a sunrise shift, eat your way down Roosevelt Row, and settle among Arcadia's grapefruit trees. Cost of living sits about 3% above the national average. Trade snow shovels for trail runners year-round and plug into a valley-wide hospital network hungry for bedside RNs.

The reviewer characterized office staff as 'miserable and have bad attitudes.' Another Indeed review is titled 'Be careful.' Positive themes identified by reviewers include a clear sense of purpose, ability to learn new things, and time and location flexibility.
