Average nurses salary in California is $77,870. That's not even considering any experience she has or extra qualifications that would make her more valuable. I'm going to have to point out this one thing (cause I'm me and that's what I do) -

You don't know what Melissa fictionally makes in her fictional world. Real world averages may not apply.

This is true. But I also can't see her making the lowest mean wage for a nurse in the country ($32,510-$57,600) in a state that has the highest ($75,490-$90,860) and the area of California they're allegedly in is at the high end of that. There may be some variation due to it being a fictional 'town' and county. But it is set in California, USA. Its supposed appear to be in the real world, not Middle Earth or Westeros.
