Washington is the 2nd Best State for Nurses
Let's be honest, it's our nurses who are the real VIPs of the hospital game. Doctors are fine for treating and educating and diagnosing but it's our nurses who really take care of us in our time of need. Glad to find out the Washington state ranks second best state for nurses.

First place goes to Arizona, if you're wondering.
Worst state for nurses? Maryland, of all places. Interesting.
