Hello, I am interested in becoming an RN. I am currently in school. 1. I am wondering what are the typical earnings for an RN straight out of school? (I live in Florida) 2. How do pay increases go? Is it every year, by how much? Does it have a cap? 3. What kind of environment do you work in? Does working at a doctors office as an RN pay the same as if you worked in a hospital? I have a bad back and have trouble standing on my feet for long, long periods of time, so I am trying to find out this information and also what percentage of nurses work outside of hospitals, in doctors offices? Thank you

I live in Florida. I'm asking, how much does a nurse make straight after finishing nursing school for an RN?

Can an RN go back to school to become a Physician Assistant? I understand that there are PA programs that are about 2 years long. Someone also told me you need to work in the medical field in some way before going to become a PA. Do you need a 4 year degree to go on to be a PA, or can you apply to a PA program with a 2 year or associates degree? Also, what does the degree need to be in?

Hello, I am interested in nursing and am currently getting my 2 yr degree to be an RN. I am really interested in how much do the nurses make because some people say they make good money and others say they do not. How much did you approx. make your first year/ or how much are you going to make and where do you live?
