What pay are nurses making these days?

[BeOne77]

Hello,

I am doing an anonymous study on what nurses are making these days.

From entry level diploma, associates, baccleaureate.

DNSc, FAAN, ANCeF

And any other specialty and surname of nurses that are out there today including nurses that have their MBA's

Please respond briefly with your pay, which state you live in and what type of hospital, doctor's office, nursing home or other area you live in and your specialty.

Thanks for the input!!!!

I am a LPN and the base start out for LTC is $18.75 US. I am 1 yr in as a LPN and still ejoying the work, I also doe an ON-call spot at an urgent care, the pay there is alot lower, but the job is cool, I get to see all kinds of things. The pay is only $14.75. I still think becoming a nurse is the best move I ever made.
