Many other states pay a lot more for nurses than Michigan. That's why there's a shortage. Top 3 average pay states for nurses.
- California: $106,865
- Oregon: $104,844
- Nevada: $104,167
Nevada also has no state income taxes unlike Michigan and ends up being #1 for after tax pay.
Michigan is #42 at $76,161.
The after tax pay sucks in Michigan for Americans. RNs in Ontario make about the same number as in Michigan, but in CDN money so now you're talking $100K CDN after conversion.
