    jamangel replied to charitygrad07's topic in Nursing Career

  14. Salary in GA

    jamangel replied to igbide's topic in Georgia Nursing

    i'm offering a different perspective. A BSN in the VA system with one year experience can look to make $55k-65k. The VA pays you for your education and experience. The private sector numbers are...
