Does anyone know why registry pay is between 38 -45/hr. I was under the impression that San francisco nurses made more money, than southern california. This seems low, especially due to the high housing expense. Is it?

Is it better to work for a hospital or get travel contract, even travel contracts seem low from all the offers quoted.

Any feedback from nurses working in this area, or that have traveled to san francisco would be appreciated. I am not sure if it is worth going up there, am I missing something?:
