I am considering a career in nursing and have heard both good and bad. However, one thing I dont know is what the pay is like, for say an RN. At 1-3 yrs. my research shows $40K At 4-7 yrs. my research shows $40-55K At 7+ yrs is $55K -$85K. How accurate is this. Take into account an area like Columbus, Ohio. Thanks for any feedback, this would be a great help.
