339894
My roommate is a nurse here in SF and gets paid $50/hour w/o benefits. With benefits you get less. You can also work overtime. So annually you could make $100,000.

Absolutely. Nurses are in high demand always and they make really good money starting out. \nSeriously it all depends on where you decide to work, don't listen to the people who tell you that nurses aren't in demand. Look in any newspaper classified ad and you will always see job vacancies for nurses. Do your research and you will get a great position somewhere as a nurse. \nThe good thing is that nurses are needed all over...military, hospitals, nursing homes, schools, factories, the list goes on and on.

It depends on where they are working, which state or province, whether they have a private clinic or work in the education system or health care system.  Where I live starting salary in a government job would be about $45,000 and could probably go as high as $75,000 in the richer jurisdictions, but I expect they make more money if they are in private practice.

Nursing salaries, like physician salaries, vary by experience, location and speciality. Travel nursing usually pays $24-$35 per hour, with an additional housing subsidy. Pay is higher in regions of the country with the highest cost-of-living: New York, San Francisco, Chicago, and other major metropolitan areas. California Nursing Jobs are in high demand because of the location, and it turns out that there are many open travel nursing positions in the sate.

Yes. Many hospitals and clinics will pay you to advance to RN if you agree to contract to them for X number of years. Just ask your employer, and approach potential employers in the area.

Registered Nurses\n\nI am sure you are paid more if you go into SPECIAL areas - Surgery, OB/GYN, Peds etc.

It depends on what degree you have and what capacity you nursing. For example a school nurse entry level position may only pay you between 24,000-28,000 US dollars per year, but entering the field as a nurse specializing in trauma, or geriatrics, pediatric, OR Nurse, Oncology Nursing, or any specialized nursing will not probably begin by paying you additional money, but in the long-run, specializing in a field of nursiong requiring specialized knowledge will pay off for you eventually.  Home health nursing can also be very lucrative though you must have a certain number of years experience as well as a certain level of knowledge and experience with different types of equipment. \nI have a friend who recently became an LPN and works regular 8 hr shifts 5-6 days per week and he made 66,000 US dollars last year.  It really depends on your level of education, the position you take and if you are administration in the nursing field, a Patient care manager, a Director of Nursing, assistant director of nursing or even in a recruiting or teaching position.  There is a significant difference in salary depending upon if you are an LPN- Licensed Practical Nurse, RN Registered nurse, BSN Bachelor's of Science in Nursing, or if you become a nurse practitioner.  LPN can be achieved in 2 or less years depending on if your program is excellerated, it allows you to nurse, but it limits the meds you can provide and in the field depending on where you nurse, it can limit you to doing treatments and giving meds only.  RN is historically achieved in 4 years and comes as a BSN but in previous years RN has been accelerated and given in 2-4 years without the bachelors degree.  Becoming a nurse practitioner is usually a step that some nurses who hold a Masters of Science in NUrsing take which will put them at about an equivelent level with a physician's assistant (PA) able to follow and treat patients but unable to prescribe narcotics and followed up by a physician who signs off on his/her treatments or prescribed course of action.  They work under the licensure or an approved physician.  I would suggest getting on a web site that does national or even international comparison for careers with varying levels of education.  Sorry I don't have additional time to find any for you at this time, but I hope this helped you out a bit anyway.  If I find time I will post some sites for you a bit later.  GOOD LUCK with your future endeavors and don't get discouraged!

I left nursing a few years ago and I write now. But, your math and science and degree can be used to teach.  Pay isn't as good, though. If you are single, investigate how much you can make as a nurse in Saudi Arabia. Just for the adventure of it. Even though legal nursing is a certification/specialty field, attorneys are always looking for RN's.  And, they pay better than hospitals. Good luck.

$25 an hour is about $1000 a week.\nIt isn't too shabby. And there are a lot of things you can do with a nursing degree besides nursing.\nHere is Florida, there is a nurse practicioner who has here own office and sees patients and does physicals and writes prescriptions and charges $80 per patient.\nShe has a doctor she knows who has given her permission to use his name on her prescription pad and at least in Florida, it is perfectly legal for her to act as a doctor as far as seeing patients and writing prescriptions. She probably makes at least $600 a day. \nYou can also start a business where you send nurses into people's homes for in-hone nursing care.\nYou can also do something like working for a plastic surgeon as an after care nurse. And I always thought it would be fun to be an O.R. nurse.\nPlus, at least in this state, there is such a huge demand for nurses you would never be out of a job.\nI think if you enjoy what you are doing that is at least half the battle. Dont' give up on doing what you love because you think it won't pay enough. I made that mistake with interior design and have regretted it ever since. And it turns out I got bad info about it not paying much.\nWith a four year degree, making $25 an hour is a perfectly decent wage. And as I said there are lots of ways to make a lot more with that degree. Take a business class, one in marketing, if you can. It will open up new horizens for what you can do to get rich with a nursing degree.

Your teachers should have covered that in school.  You have to pass Canada's exam.  But why would you want to work as a nurse up there?  The money is so much better in the states.

I am almost positive they would take you as an RN.  You would take a tremendous pay cut and put yourself in harms way but you could do it.\n\nCudos to you if you do it.

I live in Northern California, and I average about $50,000 a year.  There are definitely different pay scales.  If you live in a big city, you will make more.  With more experience you will make more.  If you are trained and licensed in many different modalities (CT, MRI, Ultrasound etc), you will make more.  If you work in a hospital and are willing to pull call or work nights, you will make more.  I have found that I make enough money working in a small town, in an outpatient facility that I can comfortably support myself and my daughter.

Salary.com\n\nUsually a master's in nursing can produce income of 65-105k depending on what the master's is actually in. Family practice makes less while Nurse Anthestia makes more.

I am a nurse and I actually work with a doctor who was a mechanic and now is a ER physician.  He loves those old Volvo's and drives on to work daily. \nAny ways.  You can be an RN in 2 years or 4 yrs.  When I went to nursing school, they were encouraging everyone to get 4 yr degrees because they said the 2 yr degree would phase out and become obsolete. No way!!! There is such a shortage of nurses they are begging them apply for jobs.  The difference is about .20 cents an hour where I work between a BSN prepared RN vs a AAS nurse. \nI make about $26 an hour now and I have been in the same job for the last 11 yrs with no plans to leave. \nIf you want to be a hospital nurse, you have to be able to tolerate a lot of peoples differences and understand its not about passing out BonBons.  It is very hard work.  I dig out impactions, give enema's, I have had vomit splattered from my hair to my shoes and always keep an extra set of pants in my locker in case someone poops, pukes or bleeds all over me. We have patients who come in with pneumonia and their trachs are bubbling out yellow green mucus and everytime they cough, you are better off to have a pair of goggles on.  We take care of a variety of infectious diseases and see everything. I could go on and on and on. Just realize nursing is not the glamour, its very hard work and you work on holidays, weekends, and they say the older nurses tend to "eat their young".  \nWe would love to have you though. My favorite male RN left a degree in forrestry to do t his, and you can too.
