Hello to all, im new this forum and just wanted to ask a few questions. i reside and go to college in GA but i want to be a nurse in FL and wanted to know if all i need to do is take the FL state boards to be a nurse out there. I cant wait until i graduate. I is the salary for a nurse is $45,000 to $55,000? Do nurses do all the work while the doctors just do research on the illness/problem with the patient and prescribe prescriptions?
