The point is that salaries are not directly comparable as geography varies because cost of living is radically different, nurse or not.

I am fairly sure that if I moved to SF I would make 70%-100% more than I do in London, doing essentially the same job. In Poland if I had to guess I'd say a drop of at least half.

What is relevant is whether or not the salary is reasonable within the location.




The OECD maintains a cost of living index: https://data.oecd.org/price/price-level-indices.htm. The US is on average just 5% more expensive than the UK.
