If you want to know how much people make on average, click on this link from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. This data is better than salary.com because it's collected by the government for tax purposes.

http://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oessrcma.htm

Go to your state, then your town, click on healthcare practitioners and technicians and look up Registered Nurses. LVN's are on that list also.

Geez ladies! Put down the shotguns already! If you're offended by the post -don't respond and move on. I find it more insulting the arrogant 'you should know better' attitude from you mother hens out there...

Boy, you got that right. It's like, I'll get you a ladder so you can get off that horse...I got into nursing because of the money, and I can care less how some people feel about that, because they don't pay my bills or support my family. I did not get into nursing to stay. There are things I like about my job but things so bad that it isn't worth it for me to stay. So nursing is just a part of my journey to something better (I hope). But don't ever come down on me because I care about salary.

If it's not about salary maybe these holier than thous should be handing out rice in the streets of Calcutta instead of collecting a paycheck at all.

But then the thread wouldn't be entertaining... salaries, in general is (or is that 'are') a rather dull subject. Everyone knows the good threads are the hotly debated ones. Keep firing ladies.

1.Type of nurse? RN NICU

2. How many hours u work per week? between 24 and 36 (24/week but I often pick up extra)

3. How many years of nursing? 2

4. What Shift: 7p-7a

5. City and State: GA

6. Average 2 week gross pay: gross 1200-1900 net (after 401k, taxes, health ins) is 750-1150.

You will find that taxes are a killer (obviously.) And, the more you work the more they take, so dont kill yourself doing 50 hours a week because you wont see most of the money from it. Overtime is taxed at a different tax rate, just like bonuses, so I find i would rather have some semblance of a normal life than make some chicken change killing myself.

Also, cost of living doesnt reflect pay in many areas. There are places here in the southeast that are VERY expensive tpo live in yet, I make more living in an area that is much less expensive. I look at my brother in DC who makes far more than I do yet what his income can get him is a 1000 sq foot condo, which is 2.5 times as much as my 1800 sq ft home. I found nurses in his area make about the same as me. If I lived there, I might be able to rent a 1 bedroom.

There needs to be changes in the field of nursing. The "doesnt matter what we are paid.....it is a calling" mentality is why we have nurses working in despicable/dangerous working conditions for chicken change.

I am willing to state what I make because when I was in your position I also wondered what kind of lifestyle I would be able to look forward to. Coming from a very poor family, I was lookng forward to a job I loved and an income I could live comfortably with. No none chooses to struggle and not be able to take a nice family vacation or buy a home. No one want to do the work we do and have the responsibitity we have for 12 bucks an hour. I worked as a waitress at a very well known hotal chain and made more than that. I didnt get a college education so that I could live paycheck to paycheck.

I have found that salary.com is fairly far off because many nurses dont work 36/week, some work in an office, with home health, etc. The pay is very different in these areas, so getting a single number to say what nurses make is unreasonable.

I wish you the best of luck in school!!

Thank you

small survey

1.type of nurse? rn

2. how many hours u work per week? 24+

3. how many years of nursing? >10

4. what shift: day

5. city and state: nw

6. average 2 week gross pay: $1000

i also pick up shifts for the above job and work for home health part time. when i start burning out or i need free time, i just cut back on extra shifts and home health hours.

i am a dedicated and caring worker but i must admit that the job market had the biggest impact on my choice of careers. my salary in no way reflects my professional worth but it does allow me to supplement our income and spend time with my family. if my husband is out-sourced from his job, (a yearly threat) i can carry the ball for a while. i've never once applied for a nursing job and been turned down. that's job security. it's a hard world out there. if you want to become a nurse, you should. it is personally fullfilling to make a difference in other peoples' lives. if money is important to you the opportunities are there. (agency, traveling nurses, consulting, continue education for masters careers. . .) if money is not important to you, there are plenty of poor folks to serve.
