I have a BSN and MSN and have been a nurse for 20 years. 
Nurses around here start as new graduates at around 55-60K with shift differential, you easily earn 70-75K your first year. 
Salaries go up with experience. A RN with a bachelor's degree in nursing and 5 years of experience earns about 100K with shift differential figured in. 
Almost everyone works 3 twelve hour shifts so you get 4 days a week off. 
I've had an awesome career. I'm in administration now, have been for several years. My salary before bonus is about 200K - not big law money  but I feel I'm not doing too badly!

wow...I should have gone into nursing.  Don't have the stomach for it![/quote]

I have no idea where PP is getting these figures for nursing salaries. They're completely inflated for this area.  Maybe she's posting from CA where salaries are higher?

No way, no how that a hospital nurse working 36 hours in this area (shift differential or not) makes 6 figures.  If so, please name the hospital.  Seriously, I want a name.   
And 200K+bonus for nursing administration?  Again, give us a name of an institution.

signed, 
RN MSN for 15 years in this area as an RN, NP, who also spent time in nursing education, administration and recruitment.

I'm all for championing nursing but not by making things up.
