State Rankings for RN Salaries

[Mary77]

I found this very interesting. It ranks states by average RN salary and then it adjusts the rankings by using the cost of living in that state.

Texas seems to be the best state for RN salaries when cost of living is figured in while Hawaii is last. Maine and New Hampshire have been left out because they couldn't get reliable statistics.

thanks for the post Mary.

I edited it to link directly to the link rather than through Google. I hope you don't mind!

It's interesting to see the difference in ranking before and after the adjustments. I'd like to know what figures into the adjusted rankings.

Okay Mary, I am SO SORRY! I really screwed that up.

After I changed the link, it wouldn't allow me to view the article anymore.

WTH!

It must only let you view the article when Google is the referrer, which is why you linked it to google in the first place.

Of course, I'm too dense to realize that, so I screwed it all up.

Hopefully, you can correct the mistake that I made and will forgive me for trying to help and screwing it up!
