You've got that right! The healthcare industry in the US has been
experiencing a chronic shortage of nursing staff for over a decade
already, and the current salaries for the profession reflect that
situation.
If you manage to land a job as a nurse here, you'd be able to
afford [b]any digicam.

I applied to go to the US at one point, then decided I'm not
quite ready for it at this point of my life yet. I wanna complete
some studies in Australia first, take advantage of the exemptions
I'll get in the universities there. 
I was in a prestigious US hospital for a month-long attachment
about three years back, Meia, and it was a BIG eye-opener!! The
respect, the professionalism, the benefits, the work culture,
and... the $$$$$!!! *ka-ching! ka-ching! (cash register ringing!
hehehe!) 
The US nurse recruitment agency told me that us nurses get our
Green Card real fast and most foreign nurses settle down and start
purchasing nice homes and cars and what-not within their first
year! 
Wait till I complete my studies in Australia first!
