Discover Why Nurses Thrive in These U.S. States!

The United States is often considered a dream destination for nurses, thanks to the wide range of professional and personal benefits it offers. One of the most notable advantages is the high earning potential, with nurses typically receiving significantly higher salaries than in many other countries, along with comprehensive benefits such as health insurance and retirement plans. Beyond competitive pay, the U.S. provides ample opportunities for career advancement, including access to advanced training, continuing education, and specialization in high-demand fields. On a personal level, the U.S. also boasts a high standard of living, strong labor protections, and a growing emphasis on work-life balance within many healthcare facilities.

When people think of the U.S., states like New York, California, and Texas usually come to mind first. But did you know that Alaska, Washington, and North Dakota are actually some of the best states to kickstart your journey as a U.S. Staff Nurse? These lesser-talked-about states offer incredible opportunities for nurses looking to build a rewarding career in the U.S.

Let’s take a closer look at what makes these states stand out—and why they could be the perfect starting point for your U.S. nursing career.

State of Alaska. Alaska offers a one-of-a-kind experience for nurses seeking both professional growth and personal adventure. With its breathtaking natural beauty and peaceful, low-stress environment, it provides a truly unique setting for those ready to embrace new opportunities. At Providence Regional Medical Center, nurses can earn up to 70 USD per hour, depending on experience and prevailing wage rates. In addition to competitive pay, nurses gain valuable clinical experience by working with a wide variety of medical cases. There is especially high demand in Alaska for specialties such as Orthopedic/Surgical, Neurology, Oncology/Med-Surg, Cath Lab (with ICU experience), and Skilled Nursing Facility/Long-Term Care (SNF/LTC)—making it an excellent destination for nurses looking to expand their skills and make a meaningful impact.

State of Washington. Washington strikes the perfect balance between city life, diverse communities, and professional advancement. Whether you’re looking to grow your nursing career or settle into a welcoming environment, this state offers plenty of opportunities. Nurses in Washington enjoy exceptionally high pay and benefit from no state income tax, which allows for higher take-home earnings. Additionally, top-tier hospital networks like Providence Health & Services offer excellent career opportunities. On the personal side, Washington is home to a vibrant Filipino-American community and provides easy access to both urban living and the beauty of nature—making it an ideal place to live and work. The state has a high demand for specialties such as Orthopedic/Surgical, Inpatient Surgical, Cardiac Telemetry, Oncology, Pulmonology, and Nephrology, offering nurses a variety of roles in thriving healthcare settings.

State of North Dakota. While North Dakota may not always make the headlines, it offers a stable, affordable environment for nurses looking to start their careers in the U.S. With a low cost of living, nurses can save more while enjoying a comfortable lifestyle. The state’s low crime rate makes it an ideal place for families, and its supportive employers are experienced in working with international hires, creating a welcoming atmosphere for nurses from all backgrounds. Overall, North Dakota offers a great opportunity for nurses seeking a peaceful, long-term life in the U.S. One of the in-demand specialties in the state is Skilled Nursing Facility / Long-Term Care (SNF/LTC). Nurses in this field play a crucial role in providing comprehensive, compassionate care to residents, making it a highly rewarding career path.
