The city

Living in Washington, DC

Washington, DC runs about 9% above the national average on cost of living, but RN pay scales to match. Picture pre-shift coffee in Dupont Circle, post-call walks along the Georgetown waterfront, and Metro rides to shifts near Foggy Bottom. The monuments are backdrop; the federal research hospitals and tight nursing networks are the draw.
