hospital nurses make more then school nurses, hospice, and retirement homes. As for the unit, I don't think one makes more then the other. Hawaii has high salaries, and any city.

Nurses in USA start at at about 20 dollard an hour. This is regardless of the specialty area. They can have either a 2 year degree, 4 year degree, or a 6 year degree. They all get paid the same unless they work in management. After you have a nursing degree you must take a board exam and pass that before you are allowed to practice in any state. The salary will go up with years of experience.

TD:\n\nWho the hell are you to say that?  I am from Mass,  live in Ga.  The cost of living is high there.  But on the other hand you can make good money depending on what you do.  Where at in Mass do you live?  You might want to go to Lawrence, Haverhill, Lowell areas possibly for cheaper rent (Maybe even to Nashua/Manchester, NH) because it is out of control in Mass.  Ga has a better cost of living and I make the same money I did back home.  Good luck with everything.

Registered Nurse, because it's much more diversified. You can go into pediatrics, geriatrics, O.R., E.R., hospital, nursing home, private care,  doctor's office, so many options. the others are specialized, and job opportunities will be more limited. As an R.N. you can go to work immediately in any city anywhere anytime. R.N.'s can make 50 bucks an hour,  and be the charge nurse, not "just" an assistant.

Fort Worth, Texas.....It has the lowest cost of living with the highest salary ratios in the country.  A 3000 square foot home in California costing $600,000 can be purchased in Fort Worth for less than $250.000.  In addition, Texas does not have state income tax as most other states do.  You will bring home more money in Texas than in most other states.  NYC and California are two of the most expensive places to live in the U.S.  Fort Worth is growing rapidly and there are plenty of opportunities for a variety of careers.\n\nGood luck and live well!

If you are in the US, nursing is most definitely worth pursuing as a career.  The impending retirement of many baby boomers is creating great demand for nurses.  My sister and mother are both nurses; my sister has her pick of choice jobs and my mother, who is in her mid-60s, is contacted every week with job offers.

Check out Indiana Wesleyan University. They have campuses located throughout the state and offer various ways to earn an RN degree for those who can attend school full time and those who are working.

It could be. However, nursing is one of the professional fields with loads of scholarships and financial aid available due to the nursing shortage. If anything, most community colleges offer a nursing program, and it can cut down on how much the tuition is and complete the program in two years. I will provide several sources where you can locate financial aid.\n\nFirst, file for FAFSA.ed.gov because it will help you tap into both federal and college need based financial aid.\n\nSecond, search Google.com and Yahoo.com for your state's college grant program. 35 states has a website devoted to applying for state college financial aid and applications. If this method fails, search your state government's website for nursing scholarship or grant.\n\nThird, I have listed some nursing scholarship organizations.\n\nFourth, check with your college's financial aid website and the nursing department's website because they often list available scholarships from outside organizations and companies.\n\nFinally, there are free membership scholarship search websites. Most are updated on a regular basis. I recommend joining several of them. I recommend applying to as many as you qualify for since the more money you get in scholarships and grants, the less you will have in loans.\n\nGood luck!

The question depends on location.  Localized pay is the standard now for this skill.  I work as a software engineer in San Angelo, Texas, and garner 51k.  This is a very low cost place to live and work.  If I were to transfer these skills to a metro area like San Antonio, I have been offered 90k to live and work there.  I have also received offers for 120k for Hawaii, and 90-110 for Washington D.C.  \n\nI am semi-retired and don't need a big move or change in my life, and I am very happy with the freedom I have here to be creative and productive in ways that make me happy.  Money is important, but job satisfaction and the people you work for will dictate the balance you desire in a salary.\n\nBut I would give you a word of caution.  Many companies are trying to get software engineers ala carte.  They will hire based on limited time periods (contracts of 6 months, or 1-5 years) to apply their skills against a specific project until that project is no longer being worked.  Make sure you attempt to hire on as a permanent employee, and not a contract employee.\n\nFinally, you skills will determine how much you catch the eye of an employer.  Make sure your skills are what the industry is looking for in the location that you are looking.

well with nursing you have night shifts and a job pretty much when ever you want. with business there is more money but everyone is in business so its harder to get a job. and then you have to think hours on your feet if you dont mind long hours then go for nurseing.

What and where is KANSAS ??\n\nARIZONA seems to be one of the fastest-growing places anymore.  Cost of living is less, although not a whole lot less (I'm told) than CALIFORNIA.  Nice weather and LOTS OF JOBS, I think.\n\nIf your family's there, I would go home and take a breather.\nAlso, if your parents are getting older, it would a VERY GOOD IDEA TO SPEND TIME WITH THEM BEFORE THEY GET MUCH OLDER -- you won't EVER REGRET THAT DECISION !!
