How are the salaries in USA?

[Doctor Guazzo]

Hello, I would like to know what is the average salary of a nurse in USA.

In my country the salaries are really low so I'm starting to consider USA.

Salaries vary greatly. In my recent search, I found hospital med/surg BSN nurses at my level of experience being paid $21.50/hr to $32/hr. Do some internet searching. This website gives info on both salaries and cost of living. People vary in what they consider a decent standard of living. I find housing costs to be a major factor if you plan on owning a home. http://www.payscale.com/cost-of-living-calculator.aspx?af=2539&src=2539col

RNs typically earn more than the average household income in a town in the US. In addition to the base salary, RNs get shift differentials for evening hours, night shift, and weekends. That has been as high as $2.50 eve, $5.00 nights, and $2.50 weekends at jobs I've had. Nurses who work extra shifts typically earn time and a half after they reach 40 hrs for the week, and sometimes there is an extra incentive bonus of $10+/hr for the extra shift.
