More about NextGen Cryo
That is the number you can plan around, not a range, and there is no housing stipend, travel weekly gross, or sign-on bonus listed with it. San Diego’s cost of living sits about 12% above the national price level, with citywide apartment rents often cited in the high $2,000s. Nurses in this market talk about inland spots — Santee, El Cajon, Mira Mesa, Rancho Bernardo — when they want to trade coastal proximity for a lower rent. California is not a compact-license state, so you would need a California license, and the state income tax is graduated at some of the highest brackets in the country. Nearby, UC San Diego Health and Sharp HealthCare post higher medians in the same market (about $78.71 and $61.74). Kaiser Permanente is closer to this rate at about $35.36. Scheduling, float, residency, and benefits are not in these facts, so the rest of the picture would come from the posting and the interview.

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.
