It makes great money, it's stable, and unless you're a doctor the training is pretty simple.\nExample: my dad, a CRNA (anesthetist), is making over $110,000 a year. Not too bad. \n\n(I should mention that when I mean nurse, I mean a RN, not a LPN.) \n\nHowever, the hours suck (12 hour shifts), the stress can be incredible, and working call is the worst. \nExample: My dad wasn't able to leave our city to go ANYWHERE while he was on call. He often missed birthdays and holidays. \n\nBasically it comes down to this: many nurses NOW are growing into the retirement age (like my dad). If you are interested, you may like it. If you love it, you're going to stay. If you don't, you're going to quit at the first oppurntunity.

A medical assistant goes to school for only a year.  There is a demand for them because they are cheaper than nurses, and can do alot of the same things, HOWEVER, if you have the time and determination to become a nurse it pays MUCH better.  For example, the MA's I work with do most of what I do (mostly-ther eare a few things I have to do that they can not do) but they make about $12 an hour, and I make $22 as a nurse, and nurses are quite often offered double pay when staffing is short- so sometimes I make $44.00 an hour when I accept extra shifts.  So bottom line if you are going to go to school, make sure you are getting paid well after the education, because you will most likely be doing alot of the same things the nurse beside you is doing for twice as much money.  There is more responsibility on the nurses sometimes though too.  Pros and cons. :)\n\nHTH!\nBarbarita RN

Well..in Indiana the average wage of an LPN is about 20.00. I was reading some other answers and I started out as a LPN then went back to school several times to get my RN and BSN..I would suggest getting your LPN first for several reasons..first you only go to school for 1 year,,second it is so competitive to get into school anymore that even LPN school is hard to get into, third you get so much experience as a LPN because it is basic nursing care and with that experience it makes your RN easier..and most hospitals and other institutions will pay you to go back to school..its a win win situation...I love being a nurse..I can't imagine doing anything else..You must always remember that the joy and reward come from your heart that you are making a difference in someones life and you won't hear alot of thank you's...but every once in a while you will get a hug or a thank you that will keep you getting up everyday and looking forward to making a difference again...This may sound silly but if you are looking in becoming a nurse take the opportunity to shadow a nurse and see what kind of day they have..hope this helps...

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.

Check out\nhttp://www.bls.gov\n\nClick on the Occupational Outlook Handbook link.  It's in the left-hand column towards the middle.  From there you can find info on salary- national and state statistics.\n\nRegistered nursing would most likely make you the most money.  You can get your ADN in about 2 years, after your prerequisites, of course.  Every shcool is different.  Thay make around $18 - $25 per hour, depending on experience and whether you work in a hospital, doctor's office, etc.

Really depends on which state.  My sister graduated last year, and she is making 56,000.00 at a local community pharmacy.  But you can make much more in a hospital or chain store

Truthfully associates degrees are not worth very much. A bachalors degree is better. Usually the pay can very from 8 to 15 dollars an hour.

I am a recent nurse graduate.  I attended a associate degree program in nyc.  Now I am entitled to take the NCLEX, which is the exam which you need to pass in able to become a Registered Nurse or you can say "RN" which is just an abbreviation or nurse.  The more technical term is Registered Nurse.  The hospital volunteer guy is wrong.  \n \n So, that's a registered nurse, you have to have a degree, either 2 year, which is associates, 4 year, bachelors which is the best minimum education a nurse should have, and extra 2 to however many for a nurse practitioner.  An associates degree is still acceptable and I am able to take the same test as a bachelor graduate, but more  education is better.  Some facilities don't take associates degree, just some though.\n  \n As a nurse practitioner, you will have a specialty, many of them to choose from such as family NP, pediatric NP, Psych NP, etc.  You are able to prescribe meds, just as the others have said.  NP's usually work with an MD.  Some states allow NP's to work independently, meaning you can have your own Nurse practitioner clinic, like a doctor's clinic.  NP's are still RN's so they do bedside care as well.  NP's usually have a higher salary.  Other types of higher educ. RN's are midwives and nurse anesthetists.    \n  \n There are soooooooo many Nursing types.  Some of them still surprises me, like forensic nursing.  Nurses do paperwork and patient care.  If you want you can just do paper work and be a manager or you can just be with patients all the time.\n   Consider Nursing, hope I helped you.  If you want anymore info, just ask.   oh yeah you do clinicals in the hospitals , etc  ...like residency, and DON'T do online programs, u still have to go to clinicals anyway and it won't be as beneficial as the classroom experience and online programs for this major are probably still not approved by your state nursing board and also employers will question ur education.

Average hourly rate of $17.32 per hour.  Keep in mind that this will skew higher or lower depending on the nurse's experience level.  Cheers.

I suggest you take the 3 year nursing program. The quick study courses do not adiquitely train you for the higher paying RN jobs. \nthey only prep you for the LPN or CENA jobs that can pay Min. wages.

Check out www.salary.com   First type in the zip code for the area you will be working in (as a nurse?) -- and type if nurse for the profession.  They will bring up the low, med and high for that area.  You need to know the zip code. If you don't know it, go on a web site for that area (ie chamber of commerce for that town will be helpful)./  Good luck!

Highly variable depending on what your degree is in, what kind of job you have, and any other related experience you have. On average, though, you are looking at about $4500/mo.\nBut remember this varies widely based on the above mentioned variables.

I am not exactly sure what a patrician nurse is, but the US Government's estimations for nursing salaries is below:\n\n\nMedian annual earnings of registered nurses were $52,330 in May 2004. The middle 50 percent earned between $43,370 and $63,360. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $37,300, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $74,760.\n\nMedian annual earnings in the industries employing the largest numbers of registered nurses in May 2004 were as follows:\n\nEmployment services: $63,170 \nGeneral medical and surgical hospitals: 53,450 \nHome health care services: 48,990 \nOffices of physicians: 48,250 \nNursing care facilities: 48,220 \n\nMany employers offer flexible work schedules, child care, educational benefits, and bonuses.

Retail/secretary/office manager.  I learned fast that an associate's degree isn't worth a da#@, so don't expect to make more than $20K-$25K a yr.

You guys I'm not trying to be smart a__ but that salarywizard is Not right, especially for the south. It's usually much lower than even the "lowest median salary". I'm not kidding! Call a nursing school at a college such as Emory or Univ. Of Georgia, ask to speak to the Admissions office. Befriend the person, ask who you should speak to- I would think the career adviser. Or i bet the nurses have a society in GA of some type, google this. A Licensed Practical Nurse just starting out is not a Registered Nurse- this would obviously vary greatly where you worked- a nursing home? Home health care? Caring for granny while her kids paid you? $36,000? In rural GA or Atlanta? Get real, there's no way to quantify this via an internet site. You need to talk to girlfriend nurses in the town where you are applying. I had a client this year who worked doing nursing tasks in a nursing home in a mid-sized city in AL. She had a lot of experience. I don't know if she was a L.P.N. but she made exactly minimum wage. Don't shoot the messenger, lol...
