How we calculate this

We start from the national median for psychiatric / mental health nurses ($88,900) and apply Hawaii's RN wage index — its statewide RN mean pay relative to the national RN mean — to estimate a state-adjusted figure. This is a modeled estimate, not role-specific state data from BLS, which doesn't publish every role at the state level.
