- dragonwriter 5y ago> Sure, but nurses are more like 30-40k/yr. Plenty of room for improvement. “Nurses” can be used to mean many things (CNAs, LVNs/LPNs, RNs) but this is specifically RNs, who, make much more than that, generally (median $77.6k/yr) https://www.bls.gov/ooh/healthcare/mobile/registered-nurses.htm https://www.bls.gov/ooh/healthcare/mobile/registered-nurses....
- JumpCrisscross 5y ago> median $77.6k/yr Given the amount of school a nurse must have, that’s low.
- ejb999 5y ago2 years of school to be an RN, 4 for BSN - it's not a lot of school, it's an average amount of school at most.
- ejb999 5y ago>>Sure, but nurses are more like 30-40k/yr. Not even close if you are talking about the USA (and actual nurses, not CNA's or MAs) - starting pay for 2 year RN degrees near me are about 55-65K, and you easily go over 100K in a few years.
