Topic: RE: RN Salaries?
Hi. I work in Chicago. I have a BSN which lets you make more $$$. A BSN nurse can make 49-56k. I'm on the higher end. If you just get a RN/AS (Associate in Science Degree in Nursing) you won't make as much. That's a fact. A BAchelor always always makes more than an Associate. Also, I'm going to go to school to become a Midwife...that's more money. Also, I make good money because I'm bi-lingual. I also do homecare on my free days. It's good to be a nurse

The first step is to fill out a federal application for student loans called a FASFA. You can find it online by using google. It is free, and after you fill it out, it will tell you if you qualify for free grants you do not have to repay, or if you qualify for student loans.
From there is is simple, and the school you are going to go to will help you immensely.
Good luck... I am halfway through my RN program, and am so grateful I decided to change my life several years ago.

In So.FL newly graduated RN's working in the hospital usually start anywhere from $36K-$42k/annual depending on shift, etc. After one year med/surg experience raises can be good. My niece was RN/AS with about 6 yrs experience and she took on a management nursing position and they paid for her BSN and her annual salary now is around $80K.
Good luck. I've started a second career in nursing as well.

Topic: RN Salaries?
Sorry for the silly question.
I recently applied to an RN program in california (Mount St. Mary's College ADN Program). I am ecstatic of finally doing what I feel in my heart is the right fit for me after many years of putting it off. I currently work in the computer/IT field and doing pre-nursing courses on evenings and weekends.
My question is: What is the average salary for nurses? I know it varies from location, years of experience, etc..blah, etc..blah...
But...in all honesty (for RN's), what is your annual income? Where do you work, city, etc?
At my current job I am making 40K, so I'm just curious if nursing will be a big step up or down in the financial dept.
