Sarah’s Answer

Northern VA has excellent pay although the cost of living is higher, but living a little farther out from you work is normal here and it lowers the cost of living which makes that paycheck a good one. My neighbor is a charge nurse in an ER and she makes well into six figures.

Hi Ryan! Great to see your interest in the healthcare field - it is often repeated that ultimately all we have is our health and wellness, so you are thinking about a valuable field of work to society.

  • Registered Nurse: https://money.usnews.com/careers/best-jobs/registered-nurse/salary
  • Licensed Practical Nurse and Licensed Vocational Nurse (LPN/LVN): https://money.usnews.com/careers/best-jobs/licensed-practical-and-licensed-vocational-nurse/salary
