Median advertised pay and work-life-balance score across 51 states with enough registered nurse listings to measure. Based on our own postings from the last 12 months — not a salary survey. Medians blend permanent salaries with annualized locums/contract rates. 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.
Wyoming leads at $143k, against a $94k median across measured states. Best work-life balance: Vermont (5.9/10), Hawaii (5.6/10), West Virginia (5.3/10).
