What the day-to-day looks like

What stands out

  • Experienced nurses

    You would be looking at $70 an hour on the one EdenFirst posting we have — the same figure at the low end and the high end.

    From employer postingsAs of 2026-08-23

  • Travel nurses

    That $70 rate is a flat posted number from a single listing, so you can price the contract without guessing at a wide band.

    From employer postingsAs of 2026-08-23

  • Experienced nurses

    The $70 figure sits above the $36 hourly median we have on file for nearby Virginia Heart.

  • Moving here

    You would be living in Alexandria, about eight miles south of Washington, D.C., with Old Town, Del Ray, and Cameron Station named for Pentagon access and Metro.

More about working here
  • Travel nurses

    Virginia is a compact-license state, so if you already hold a compact RN license you can work here without sitting for another one.

  • Moving here

    Cost of living here runs about 9% above the national level, so that $70 an hour has to cover Alexandria rent and typical D.C.-area prices.

The city

Living in Alexandria, VA

Alexandria blends historic charm with easy access to Washington, D.C. Old Town's cobblestone streets and waterfront parks give this Potomac River city a small-town feel, while nearby hospital systems offer varied nursing opportunities. A solid pick for RNs who want capital-area amenities without living in D.C. itself.

Who they are

You are weighing a role at EdenFirst Health Services in Alexandria, Virginia 22307. The one number we can put in your hand is $70 an hour — posted as both the low and the high, from a single listing.

More about EdenFirst Health Services

Alexandria sits about eight miles south of Washington, D.C. People who live here talk about Old Town, Del Ray, and Cameron Station when they want Pentagon access and a Metro ride; Park Fairfax comes up for transit, and relocators name Beverly Hills as more affordable and still connected. Renter lists also point to Potomac Yard, Landmark/Van Dorn, and Taylor Run. Cost of living runs about 9% above the national level, and Virginia takes a graduated state income tax. It is a compact-license state. We cannot tell you the unit, the EHR, the schedule, or whether there is a residency or tuition help — those details are not on file. Nearby employers in the same market include Inova Health System, CHRISTUS Health, and Virginia Heart, where the hourly median we have is $36. Relocators say commuting around the D.C. area is a real grind, and no source gives you a drive time to this specific workplace.

What to consider

The good

  • Posted rate of $70 an hour from the one listing on file
  • Virginia is a compact-license state
  • About eight miles south of D.C., with Metro and highway access to the Pentagon and downtown
  • $70 sits above the $36 hourly median on file for nearby Virginia Heart
  • Neighborhoods such as Old Town, Del Ray, and Cameron Station are named for transit and Pentagon commutes

The hard parts

  • The $70 figure is a single posting, not a range
  • Cost of living runs about 9% above the national level
  • Relocators flag commuting in the D.C. area as a notable challenge
  • No scheduling, ratio, EHR, or unit picture on file

What to weigh

The $70 figure comes from a single posting, so you do not have a range or a second data point to check it against.

The reality check

Before you decide

Weighing a first job here?

The license clock and the job hunt run at once, and new-grad windows do the deciding. Residency commitments carry fine print worth reading before you sign.
