50 Cities Where Nurses Earn The Most Money

in Job

Places Where Nurses Earn the Most Money

Salaries tend to mirror the overall cost of living of a certain geographical area. If a city’s cost of living is notably higher than the U.S. average, then incomes tend to be higher there as well. With registered nurses’ salaries, this is especially true. Geography has a major influence over wages due to this connection with cost of living. Another major factor dependent on geography is supply — the number of nurses in the city. In many cities, a shortage of nurses is noticeable, especially in places like Alaska, and this has the effect of driving up salaries of nurses.

in crime

A California surgeon is accused of a violent attack in a brazen attempt to kidnap her 12-year-old son before fleeing the state in a private jet, police say.

Police say Theresa Lynn Colosi, 55, chartered a private plane for herself, her 12-year-old son, and her dog before allegedly assaulting a woman whom a court appointed to supervise Colosi’s visits with her son, according to KRTV.

Colosi is an orthopedic surgeon from San Jose, California. Santa Barbara detectives say they “uncovered that she also withdrew $900,000 from her bank account and gave away her belongings,” according to KTLA.

Turlock police explain mysterious door-to-door DNA kits

in crime/Local Roundup

TURLOCK, Calif. —

Turlock police said a man who’d arose suspicions after approaching a few area homes with child DNA kits represents a legitimate business and committed no crimes.

Police sent out a warning Monday to parents to be on the lookout after the department received two reports of a man walking up to homes and asking parents to provide fingerprints, hair samples and/or DNA from their daughters.

The police department was able to speak to witnesses and the man himself. Police said he was passing out free child DNA kits, which would be held by the family in case of future investigations.

He was not trying to get children’s DNA as the police department originally said witnesses reported.

The man’s contacts stemmed from word-of-mouth referrals and online requests for free child DNA kits.

“As a result of this investigation, we were able to determine there were no crimes. Residents should continue to exercise caution when unknown individuals come their residence. Do not allow people you are unfamiliar with into your homes. Contact police immediately if you suspect any suspicious activity,” Turlock police said in a news release.

Stanislaus County to enforce steep fines on illegal pot grows

in Local Roundup

STANISLAUS COUNTY, Calif. —

Starting on Dec. 19, Stanislaus County is cracking down on illegal pot grows by enforcing a $1,000 fine per plant per day, according to Terry Withrow, chairman of the county board of supervisors.

Right now, Withrow said growers only face a maximum $500 fine.

“There was no teeth to our ordinance,” Withrow said. “It was laughable. Like 'Yeah, shut us down. We’ll be back here again.’”

The hefty fine can add up quickly. For example, Withrow said a cultivation site found with 5,000 illegal marijuana plants would be fined $5 million per day.

“If it’s not substantial, we’re just back to where we were before,” he said. “If we can’t shut down the black market, then the entire permitting process is a joke.”

Surveillance video shows suspicious man going door-to-door asking for DNA samples in Turlock

in Local Roundup

TURLOCK, Calif. — Lauren Hassett knew something was wrong the moment she was approached by a stranger that didn't even bother knocking on her front door.

The Turlock mother told ABC10 that she was coming out of her house and into her garage when she spotted a man standing there, waiting.

"He said he was with AMBER Alert, and he wanted to finish up a DNA file so he wanted fingerprints," Hassett recalled. "And he specifically asked for five strands of [my daughter's] hair."

Hassett said the man hit her neighborhood on Wednesday night. But a second parent told ABC10 that the same man allegedly hit her neighborhood on the other side of town — at least 15 minutes away on Saturday — with two different stories.
