Minnesota is the only state ranked highly for nurses, physicians and healthcare systems according to personal finance site WalletHub.

WalletHub analyzed data on work opportunity, compensation and medical environment to determine the best states to work as a nurse or physician and used cost, outcomes and access to determine the best states for healthcare systems. 

Of the top 10 states for healthcare systems, only six also made the list for either nurses or physicians, and only Minnesota was ranked for all three.

Three other notes:
