Please help me figure this out. I want to relocate to Chicago, or the Chicago area. Doing my research is a bit overwhelming. This is what I'm looking for:
1. safe SAFE SAFEST area
2. good school system for my junior high kid
3. I'm an RN so if anyone knows how well it pay out there, PLEASE fill me in
Sigh...that's it for now I guess.

Thanks all.

RN's will fare better salary-wise in the city or northern suburbs. I work in the SW. suburbs and for a full time capped out nurse, you can expect to make around 30-35 dollars an hour for hospital staff nurse. Also depends if you are BSN, ADN or MSN.
One thing to be aware of though: check out the job situation ahead of time. I know at my place there is a hiring freeze, and I have heard the situation is the same at more than a few local hospitals. Good luck.
