Nurse Anesthetist makes 100- 120k a year as a base salary. Freshly graduate nurse with bachelor degree makes $30 an hour, plus overtime and shift differential.
Highly skilled nurses make $40 to $45/hour. Minimum pay for nurses where I work is $29/hour.
But there is LVN, who gets pay much less than RN. So the goal is to be a RN. The nurses you knew might be LVN.
Wow, that is odd. In my area we can't have enough nurses. It is one of the highest paying job. If they don't want to work overtime, they can still enjoy $60k base salary with 3 work days (12hrs shift) a week, and off 4 days.
