Hi Mariaern,
My best friend lives on Nantucket(born and raised) so I have been there quite often. VERY busy place in the summer and very quiet in the wintertime. Cost of living is high unless your job sets you up with some cheap housing, if there is such a thing over there! Restaurants are expensive too as well as shopping. My friend takes the boat from Nantucket into Woods Hole once a month to do food shopping at places like BJ's so she can buy bulk. The grocery stores over there are SOOOO expensive. I cringe every time I do groceries with her! She also does her clothing shopping off island. They dont have a mall on nantucket, but there are alot of small boutiques that are lovely but unfortunately expensive. All in all, a beautiful, quaint place to be, but you need alot of cash to live there. Not sure what the Nurses make, but I hope this helps.
