Future Georgia nurse........

I am a nursing student thinking of moving to GA after graduation. I lived in GA for two years but returned to NYC a few years ago. I would love to mave back to GA but fear that the salary for a new nurse would not allow me the opportunity to purchase a home. I've looking at the houses for sale and it seems like the prices have increased a great deal, yet the salaries have remain the same. I maybe wrong so I need your input. For those of you who nurses, how is your salary compare to the price of homes?
