[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know what the average starting salary is for nursing, but Penn nursing students supposedly are at like $125k for new grads.

Maybe that’s due to locational differences…but maybe that’s what all nursing grads make.[/quote]

I'm calling BS on this. My DD is a nurse with a BSN. She's worked at several hospital and no one is paying a new nurse grad that kind of money no matter what school they went to. Unless that person is working in some very specific research they are making what every other nurse in their hospital makes. I know that nurses in LA and NY may make more right out of school but it is based on the cost of living so $85,000 in one place may be equivalent to $125,00 in a very high cost of living area. Truly, nursing is one field where choice of school doesn't matter as much as NCLEX pass rates and the ability to pass the RN licensing exam. They all have to pass the licensing test to be a registered nurse. One thing that I do believe is true is that most hospitals prefer nurses with a BSN and in some cases require it. However, the 2-year degree to BSN is also a viable path. [/quote]
