The Mid-Atlantic state of Maryland is a great place to live and start a career in nursing. First of all, Maryland reports one of the highest average yearly salaries for nurses in the entire nation—beating out nearby states like New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. Maryland also reported a lower rate of unemployment than the nation as a whole—in April 2010, Maryland’s jobless rate was at 7.5 while the U.S. jobless rate hovered close to 10 percent. There’s also a big demand for nurses here due to Maryland’s persistent nursing shortage. In 2006, the vacancy rate for nursing positions here was a whopping 13 percent, according to the Maryland Hospital Association. This means qualified nurses will not remain unemployed for long in Maryland. And even better, in your off-time you can enjoy Maryland’s lovely coastline along the Chesapeake Bay.
