   ER2Ed replied to Sirapples's topic in General Nursing

   Well...the scoop is you won't start out making $75,000 a year. More like a base salary of $45,000 - $55,000, maybe $65,000 if you are in an area that appreciates the need for good nursing instructors at a community college with an MSN. You don't ha...
