Highlands Medical Center is a government-owned acute care hospital located in Scottsboro, Alabama, a small town setting that may appeal to those seeking a close-knit community environment. While the hospital has not yet hired international nurses, its size and community focus suggest it could be a welcoming place for newcomers. The presence of an international population in the area may also provide additional support for international nurses considering relocation.

Regional price parities (RPPs) are regional price levels expressed as a percentage of the overall national price level for a given year. The price levels are determined by the average prices paid by consumers for the mix of goods and services consumed in each region. Taking the ratio of RPPs shows the difference in price levels across regions.
