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.

And the cost of living in Boston is??????
You're comparing apples and oranges
BTW, my son had hip surgery after a MVA at Beth Israel, generally considered one of the best hospitals in the world, and the nursing care was atrocious. You cannot buy dedication.
