The best thing for you to figure out is the cost of living r/t the salary. This will give you a better idea of how much you will get for your buck. There are some sites out there that can help you figure out cost of living, compared to where you are currently. It will also give you an idea of nurse salary range in different states. The monster job site has such a thing.
