Salary...

[NurseWannaBe]

Hi,
I am thinking of becoming a nurse, but I really don't know what a nurse's salary is. What is the salary of a nurse with a Bachelor's degree? What is the salary of a nurse with a Masters degree, or does is depend on what your salary is, by what area of the hospital you work in?
Thanks for all of your help.

Most staff nurses work hourly.. Not salary.. Some specialities pay a little more but not much. Pay rates depend more on seniority and area of the country..But areas that pay better have a higher cost of living. Even some with high costs of living don't pay all that well..i.e. Hawaii.

I got not one thin dime for my BSN..I know another nurse in the hospital where I used to work who got a nickel .05 cents an hour when she got her BSN..

You might try a search on google or such with the header Nurse Salary to see what you find..

I figured it out the other night ..I got a 62% increase when I went to traveling...

New RN grads that work for the hospital system that I work at, start at $17 and some change. From what i understand, our system pays new grads the highest, now i dont know if thats dollars more or a few cents more.
