Registered Nurse Pay & Work-Life Balance by State
Advertised-pay benchmarks and work-life-balance scores across 51 states with enough registered nurse listings to measure. Pay uses weighted monthly permanent-position medians over 13 calendar months where available, with cohort-median fallbacks—not pooled medians or a salary survey. Take-home figures deduct state income tax (Tax Foundation 2025) and adjust for local cost of living (BEA Regional Price Parities 2024); federal tax is uniform across states and omitted.

Tile positions are approximate, not geographic boundaries. Selection adds an outline without changing the metric color. Work-life scores describe listings, not surveyed clinician burnout.
Hawaii leads at $121k, against a $92k median across measured states. Best work-life balance: Vermont (5.2/10), North Carolina (4.8/10), Virginia (4.6/10).
