[QUOTE="Capm_Spaulding, post: 2489251, member: 17977"] Anywhere from $40k-50k base starting salary, which unlike most jobs, is unfortunately where you'll likely be in 10 or even 20 years as well. There's a few positions out there like DON, Charge nurse, case manager that make $50-60k after a few years exp. but there are even fewer amount of higher ups than that. My father has been an RN for over 35 years, has every cert. you can think of and has yet to clear $100k a year. His current title is Wound Care Director and it's close to the mid 80k range, but that's almost unheard of and it has been only recently that he was offered it "the last person was an MD." It's the OT and shift dif. that makes it a lucrative career in my opinion, you can earn $10-20k extra by doing visits for home health agencies, working a few extra night shifts, things like that. Just watch out for tax bracket hikes. I remember one year my dad hit it [B]HARD[/B] to try to pay off his house and after several hundred hours of OT at the end of the year, only walked away with a few grand thanks to the tax bracket increase he climbed into. It's very good money, but you earn it. If it were easy, everyone would do it and it would pay nothing. [/QUOTE]
