My wife will graduate from nursing school in December and I am looking forward to her being out of school and having a income again. According to a few websites the median RN salary in OKC is in the 60-65K range.

Mine is just getting ready to start a nursing program, so this is an interesting thread for me.
She's doing clinical rotations at St. Francis and has been offered two jobs on different floors. She's waiting to interview on an ICU floor in which that's what she wants. I believe for the reasons you mentioned.
And people wonder why healthcare is so expensive...Hope she gets it, my daughter is a PICU nurse (RN).
And what GM said about the pay is spot on. My daughter made $800 for a single extra shift a couple weeks ago. That equates to just under $70 an hour.

Anyone willing to go to school for three years and then put up with blood, sh$t, piss, filth, infection and be able to greet the attitudes of patients, patient's families and doctors with a smile and a cheerful bedside manner, and do it all for less than the prevailing wage is welcome to go ahead and "take one for the team" in the name of reduced healthcare costs. LOL.
