Boston - my doctors were at Beth Israel in Boston. I had surgery there, more years ago than I care to remember, and one of the nurses told me she was making $38 per hour! That is why you have good support staff in the big cities - decent pay! Our pay scale in this area is disgraceful for anyone trying to make a career, but if you are a retired nurse from one of the major hospitals who just wants to do a few hours to keep busy, the local pay scale is acceptable. I've had two major surgical procedures here in our local hospital and both times the nurses supporting my surgeon were retirees from Chicago General, a Boston hospital and the Mayo Clinic. All worked only with this surgeon.
