How much would you get paid for an hour if you are a Registered Nurse? |
For Associate Degree? For Bachelor Degree? Students can decide to get a Associate or Bachelor Degree for Registered Nurse, right? It depends on the facility, region, specialty, years of previous relevant experience, among other things. Pay ranges can vary widely within one town or city. As a new graduate without previous health care experience in a mid size metropolitan area, you could expect to make between $18 - $25 /hr. Most facilities don't pay a differential between ADN and BSN anymore. At my facility, MSN doesn't really get you anything. The best thing you can do is get the degree that meets your needs (time and money), get some experience, and then specialize. Pediatric critical care specialties (NICU,PICU,PCCU,PedsED) and geriatrics are some of the hottest areas since many providers don't want to work with either age group exclusively. Typically a nurse makes about 20 an hour why don't you check out Salary.com? http://www.salary.com/home/layoutscripts... the rate of pay depends on where you work, your experience, your specialty, and of course how well you market your skills. Geeze...I would say between 20 and 40 dollars. AD, BD...the difference again will be where you work and how you market your skills. You should get better pay for BD, but maybe not, more importantly you will have a more diverse opportunity for work with a Batchelors degree. Where I live in the midwest, larger hospitals pay the best, and starting salary for a new graduate is roughly $25-$30 per hour. At my hospital, we only pay $1 per hour more for a BSN. The pay difference between an associates degree and a BSN is very small. RN Actually, there is not much of pay increase in regards to having a 2 year degree( ADN = Associate Degree in Nursing) vs. BSN ( Bachelors Degree). But, the difference can open more doors in various positions. Many hospitals require a BSN if you have a leadership role position. IE: Nurse Manager, sometimes these positions require a MSN ( Master's Degree). The pay for either an ADN, BSN, can vary from State-to-State. Massachusetts, California tend to pay better but, the taxes that are taken from your paycheck is quite high. In New Hampshire, their is no State Tax, so the pay rate for a nurse is less. In addition, depending on what field of nursing that you choose IE: Hospital, Long-Term Care Facility or a Doctor's office position ( to name a few) can pay differently. So, the hourly range is quite varied. But, I'm going to give an average pay scale , $ 25.00 - $ 45.00 an hour. This may not be accurate, just a guess. I hope that this helps and Good Luck. |
