Re: Men intimidated by RN salary?
I'm a married GN, and my husband makes more than me now. When we were dating, he made about half what he does now. I was a bartender, and I made significantly more money than he did (I'm taking a slight pay cut to become an RN). It was never a problem (well, except for once, when he thought I was trying to rub his face in it...I wasn't, and since we're married now it obviously wasn't that big of a deal). I'm planning to apply to CRNA programs in a few years, and my husband couldn't be more excited - he desperately wants kids, and if I'm a CRNA he can start working from home to be with them and we'll be OK with the pay cut. But then, he's pretty secure in his masculinity.
