For an entry-level BSN. As a new RN, the best pay you will get is working in a hospital setting. Doesn't matter the specialty area, since hospitals do not normally pay more based on where you work, pay increases are based on years experience.
Hospitals pay more than most outpatient clinics, nursing homes, school nursing, and most of the time more than home care also.
Expect to make about $45-$55k per year as a new graduate, depending on if you work full-time 40 hrs per week and also depending on what area of the country you live in. You are in such demand - good for you for getting your RN. RN's get paid more in larger facilities, join SEIU. Find a niche - OR, OB - you'll do better. Eventually you may want to go for a nurse-clinician position. high pay comes with experience. so dont count on it at an entry level bsn |
