I have found that nursing can indeed be if not lucrative, at least comfortable. I make over $75k as a nurse consultant for a workers comp insurance company. Admittedly, I work in San Francisco, where salaries tend to be higher due to the higher cost of living, but I still find my compensation quite adequate.
My advice is to get out of the hospital environment all together and move into the corporate world where salaries (and bonuses) tend to be better, and include weekends and holidays off.
