Portland, OR or Seattle WA (any area within 30 miles) !
They both have a small town feel but also have the city trimmings
and the cost of living is much lower then NYC.
The demand for nurses is also huge with large bonuses for them just to sign on for a few years.
Crime is low and there is a good deal of culture so you won't think you're living with a bunch of inbreds.
I suggest you visit both for a few days to check them out. They are only 2 1/2 hours apart so a rental car will let you visit both in 3 days.
