RN wages: California vs Washington State

[nurse1717]

Has anyone moved from California to Washington State and felt any difference in salary? It seems as though California RN's make $38-45/hr. and Washington State RN's $23-? Is this true? Yes, there's that cost of living differential... Thanks for the advice.

I'm not saying one is better than the other. I've worked in both. You have to decide what is best for your situation. Just some things to consider when making your decision.
