Hi, I'm currently a masters level social worker in Philadelphia and I am contemplating getting my RN specifically to become a psych nurse. I currently make 21/hr and I have been reading that psych nurses do not make as much as other nurses in other fields. So I suppose my question is---should I spend the time and money to get an RN degree..is the salary worth it? Also, does anyone know anyone who has an MSW and an RN and uses both to do something like case management in hospitals?? if so, what is that salary like? any feedback would greatly appreciated!!
