Would you move states for better pay or benefits?

Lately, I’ve been asking myself this a lot.

As a step-down nurse who’s also been working post-op concierge, I see how different states treat their nurses — from pay to staffing ratios to work-life balance. And it’s wild how much it can vary.

There’s definitely a part of me that wonders if a change of scenery (and pay bump 👀) would be worth it. But then I think about everything I’d be leaving behind — my support system, the routines I’ve built, the comfort of knowing my hospital inside out.

I guess it comes down to what season of life you’re in. Right now, I’m focused on finding a role that excites me again — whether that’s local or a few states away. But I won’t lie… seeing those nurse pay rates in California and travel contracts across the country makes it so tempting to quit my job & book a plane ticket 😅

💭 Would you ever move states for better pay, benefits, or quality of life — or is staying close to home more important to you?
