Is your Layton offer good?

Job boards show one weekly number. What matters is the split: tax-free stipends can't exceed the GSA ceiling for the standard GSA rate (Davis County), and the rest is taxable pay. Example: a $2,300/week package with both stipends at the max is $1,267 tax-free and $1,033 taxable, about $29/hour over 36 hours.

Aim for $2,050–$2,750/month in rent (60–80% of the ceiling). Landlords often price right up to the ceiling; with a stipend at the max, staying in that range keeps about $678–$1,378 a month for you.
Median 1-bedroom rent in Layton: $1,322/month across all renters. New furnished short-term leases cost more, sometimes far more in tight markets, so check listings near the hospital before you accept.
