You could get your associates degree in nursing.  Only 2 years and you could be making over $20/hr depending on the specialty and town you live in.  The nice thing about a associates is that you can sit for your RN board with either a Bachalors or an Associates.  I have a Bachalors in Nursing and am saddled with huge student loans.  If I could do it over again I would do the associates route.  Also look into programs that allow you to become a LPN after 1 year and then an RN after the 2nd.  This allows you to earn some cash while in school.  Hope this helps.

Really low.  In California it's just a couple of bucks above minimum wage.  That makes sense though because it requires almost no training.  Go into nursing instead.  Good income there.

Okay nurses DO NOT make $100,000 a year unless they are Nurse practioners or Nurse anesthesists. Both require masters degrees. You aren't going to make more than $55,000 without a masters or without tons of experience.

Associates- takes 1-2 years, some include the LPN nursing degree, lab tech, surgery assistant, computer tech, EMT, childcare.  These degrees usually land low to middle paying jobs. \n\nBachelors- 3-5 years, you can get a bachelors degree in almost anything.  There are several that pay well, and most of them pay median to upper median salaries. \n\nMaster's- 1-2 yrs. after bachelor's, usually result in high paying jobs, for example, nurse practitioner or PA, college instructor in your field, researcher, etc. \n\nDoctorate-3-4 yrs after bachelor's degree, these degrees pay high salaries.

Nurses do not stay in one job, they move. If the pay or benefits are better elsewhere, they will leave, and go there. \nConsider that hospitals in the past were happy to have the experienced, older nurse on staff, and retained their staff until retirement. One reason was cost. A new nurse, just out of school, takes about four years to learn the profession, and her job, and become skilled at it. The money to train a new nurse was well spent, since she would stay until she retired. Now, hospitals look at the bottom line, how much the salary and benefits are costing.  They want cost effectiveness at the basic salary and benefit level. \nThey dump anyone over a certain age, they do not want to pay retirement benefits, and they do not care if the older nurse is there to run the division, and train newer staff.  \nIt has changed the nurse's psychology. They used to dedicate themselves to the hospital, become one with it. Now a job is looked upon as just a stop-gap until the good job comes along.\nThere is a nursing shortage, and it will get worse. No one wants to enter the profession, it costs a lot in time and money to enter it, a lot to practice in it, and the pay, while a little better  than it used to be, is not great. I started as an LPN in 1976. I made $3.62 an hour, with benefits. My cousin took a job as a check-out grocery clerk, the scanner check-out machines were brand new then . She started out at over $7 an hour, with benefits. She had a bachelor's degree, but not in business. She is now a manager for a grocery store, and will be retiring next year, about ten years before she turns 65. She has had no further formal education. I went back to school, got an RN, and I am still a staff nurse, on the division. I do not know what she makes, but considering her lifestyle, a lot more than I do.\nAnother sign of the times is benefits. Used to be, everyone got the same, part time or full time. Now, part timers get less, and hospitals are  less likely to hire full time employees. I wanted full time, can't get it. Now the hospitals offer money for nurses and other jobs to go back to school. Why? It's a benefit, it looks good in the employment brochure, and it is a lot cheaper than paying health care benefits. And it is usually given in exchange for a commitment to work for X many years at that hospital. During that time, the hospital has the nurse at their mercy. If she quits, she has to pay back the money.\nHas this changed the quality of care given by the nurses? No, nurses are still dedicated to the profession, I do not see any more, or any less goof-offs. \nDid it change the quality of care the patient recieves? Yes. In those corporations who dump the older, experienced nurses, and hire younger, less experienced nurses, there is no one to teach the less experienced, no role models, no been there, done that person  to call and ask what is wrong with the patient.\nProbably the biggest problem to patient care is that bottom line. Health care costs are high, the patient does not go to the hospital until they are dying. There is a nursing shortage, and staffing nurse to patient ratios are high because of the shortage, and because of the hospital budget. . There is likely a less experienced nurse there. Patient costs can sky rocket, when that nurse does not know what supplies the patient will need, and brings the wrong things to the bedside. The patient pays for the wrong items as well as the right ones. \nOne new trend. Owning, maintaining, and buying gas for an automobile costs have also sky rocketing. Many nurses are choosing jobs closer to home, taking a cut in salary, knowing it will be at least partially made up in less gas purchases, and less wear and tear on the car. My friend just took a $10 cut in pay to work close to home, for her family's benefit as well as  to cut her driving costs. I chose to look for employment  closer to home, a less than 20 minute drive, as opposed to a 50+ minute drive. I took a $

There is a very limited choice of work for ENs.  The hospital system that I presently work in no longer hires ENs.  I would highly recommend further training to get RN.  RNs have a vast array of opportunities open to them and the pay is way better than EN.

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.

The rate of pay is usually determined by the experience that one has. It would also depend on whether you are an LPN or an RN and if you have a BA of MSN degree. As with any other career, the amount of education that you have would effect the rate of pay.

The positives are that there will always be jobs, RN's can get very high salaries and you can have flexible hours as there are many agencies and facilites where you can work "per diem".  (You can actually choose your days and your shifts.)  You can do private duty nursing where you only see one client at a time.  RNs also can go on to get their masters degree and then command an even higher salary.  You might get a really crappy job when you are done with school, but once you put in some time in a hospital or long term care (nursing home) setting and learn some more on the job skills, you can expand your horizons and go into another branch of nursing.\n  those are the pros.  The negative thing is that it is not for everyone.  You have to be a strong (emotionally and physically) person to be a nurse.  You have to have good coordination to use needles and other devices.  You have to be able to think on your feet a lot and make quick decisions.  It can be a very stressful field.  (most often it is!) It is also a major emotional issue knowing that if you make a mistake, someone could die.  (sorry if i'm being too dramatic)  And then there's the whole business of getting used to seeing people die.  When there are people that you can not help, it can be very emotionally painful too.  Mostly, the work is very hard, demanding and fast-paced.  \n    But if you are good at it, it can also be very rewarding.\n \n I have experience in healthcare, although not as an RN.  I worked in long term care as a CNA and considered going to school for RN but then realized it wasn't for me.  \n  You have to consider all the factors and then decide.  \n\nGood luck!
