Best Nursing Salary with the Lowest Cost of Living

[itsme583]

So, I really couldn't find any information on this topic. I would be interested to know where you get the most bang for your buck on a Nurses salary.

On Long Island, RN's make around $74,000 but rent for a one bedroom apartment in a complex can be $1400.

Please respond. :redbeathe

Can you tell me what kind of research and the numbers you have turned up? I just moved to the twin cities as a new grad about 2 weeks ago. I got a job offer today and will be starting a program for my bsn next week. I just want to know what my growth potential is here. My husband and I aren't sure if this is where we want to stay or if we will be looking at another state once he finishes college. Any information you have would be greatly appreciated!! I'm living in a suburb with my parents for a little bit until I learn th area and decide where I want to set up camp. If I had insiders knowledge on low cost areas that were still in decent parts of town it would save me a lot of time as well if you happen to have that knowledge too :) thanks!
