Virginia is a great place to explore natural beauty and urban wonders alike. Outdoor enthusiasts enjoy hiking in Shenandoah National Park, biking on the Blue Ridge Parkway, and fishing on the Chesapeake Bay. Residents are able to experience the magic of all four seasons in what is known as their “Goldilocks Climate.” Winter temperatures average around 30 degrees and summer temperatures average in the 70s.

History buffs will enjoy visiting Revolutionary War sites, Colonial Williamsburg, and Jamestown — the first permanent English settlement in America. For those interested in a touristy “staycation,” sights like the White House, Capitol Building, and Washington Monument are only a short drive or train ride away.

Foodies often rave about the diversity of Virginia's cuisine. You can delight in a seafood boil in Virginia Beach, traditional Southern fare in the Shenandoah Valley, and international dishes in the north. The state is also full of breweries, wineries, and cideries to explore on days off.

Virginia's cost of living is 4.2% higher than the national average, so you'll want to ensure your nursing salary will cover your living expenses like food, utilities, and transportation. The average home price in Virginia is $343,200, and the average cost to rent a two-bedroom apartment is $1,400 per month.
