I know this is kind of a personal question but about how much does a RN and a LPN make? I'm trying to see myself one of these days making lots of money and i just wanted an estimate....thanks!

Specializes in Med-Surg.

You won't make lots of money in nursing. It varies throughout the country. In Florida RNs make $22.00 but it even varies depending on what part of the state you're from. LPNs make about $5.00 less in hospitals, but make good money in nursing homes.

Go to salary.com and check it out.

This may sound like a lot when you're 18 but when you have a home, cars, kids, etc. it's not much.
