More about University of California, Irvine

What you do know is the place—Placentia, CA—and that California is not a nursing compact state, so your license path runs through California. State income tax is graduated and reaches some of the highest brackets in the country. If you apply, you are doing it on location and employer name more than on a full picture of ratios, culture, or take-home pay. Ask those questions early in the process.
