Right. Living here is not cheap. Plus, SQ is located in Marin county, one of the priciest parts of the bay area.
Another thing affecting pay may be the number of nursing jobs available in the bay area with good pay. There are many nursing jobs available here and all pay pretty darn well. In more rural locations there are fewer nursing jobs available and they probably dont pay as well as the dept of corrections pays these days.
