Pay for Rn

Nurses Career Support

Published

I was wanting to know more or less would a RN be able to make a living with 2 kids? I live in Cali.

Specializes in Medical and general practice now LTC.

A lot of variables come into play here, your costs of living, what the state pays as that varies from state to state, your expectations

Specializes in Leadership, Psych, HomeCare, Amb. Care.

"If the California poverty threshold were set at one-half the state's median family income, it would be $26,347 for a family of four in California." http://www.ppic.org/main/commentary.asp?i=249 RN salaries are much higher than that

So technically, yes your family of 3 can do it.

Ok. I just want to make sure I will spend a lot of time in school and be able to buy a house and provide for family when i am done. I do plan on getting my BS also.
