[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New grad nurses in the DC area make around $55K. After 10-15 years they make around $80K unless they're working a lot of overtime and/or off shifts or chose to work an hourly rate without benefits (PTO, insurance, etc). My friend just started at Georgetown for $55K. My cousin started at a hospital in rural Arizona for $58K. It's a great and flexible career which pays 22 year olds new grads very well and is a great income in most of the country. Not so much once you're in the field for awhile or high cost of living areas. [/quote] Yup, get your ACLS, take extra courses, slowly get your masters. Many employees help pay for these. Work OT too. I worked an extra 12hr every other week for big money. Also worked most holidays for double pay too. Still plenty of time off. Once you get your masters you can be a nurse practitioner or case manager making your own hours when you start a family. It’s been a great career. [/quote]
