Is there anyway you can make at least 40,000a year in your first year of nursing? I live in Richmond,VA
I have st one mth left of school and Im in NoCal and starting @ my clinical site is $25/hr. As a CMA/Phleb. I was making $22/hr in Family Practice. The one thing some of us need to consider is the fact that it is ridiculously expensive to live out here in CA. So in the end most our paycheck goes to bills and the mortgage! Ive considered moving back to colorado and know that Id be taking a pay cut.. but also housing, gas and groceries is less expensive than out here so really, some may be better making a bit less and cost of living is less than the other way around!!!

Average around here (northwest Pennsylvania) is about $13/hr to start in a hospital and $17/hr to start in a nursing home. I'm thinking when I graduate (in March!!) I'll try to go for the hospital. The learning experience is worth it for me.. I think.. :)
