    This is not exclusive to nursing everyone. I worked in a restaurant in college where the manager made ~$50,000/yr but ended up working 65 hrs/wk to cover people. Most of us were part-time wage, but if we had worked full-time we probably would have made more.

    A lot of the problems I hear on this board aren't a nursing specific problem, rather a microcosm of the working world.

    EXPERIENCED STAFF NURSES MAKE MORE $$$ THAN NURSE MANAGERS!!!

    If you're looking
    to make the big bucks
    Go for top level management positions
    (Associate/Assistant Director of Nursing/Dept Head, Director of Nursing).

    Or else you will burn out
    like so many
    Nurse Managers do.
    Top level management? Wouldn't this require you to be a lower level manager before jumping to the top level?
