Can someone live an expensive lifestyle on a nurses salary?

What do you consider expensive? Not enough information.......

I am not sure where you live but nurses make $30 an hour to start (right out of school) where I live. Not to mention the overtime and benefits. If you dont have any kids or obligations....then yes.

being a nurse (r.n.), in it for many years, my gross income last year was just under $80 k.

Most nurses make pretty good money. In my area, which is suburban, registered nurses start out at about $20 an hour. Many of these jobs also offer sign-on bonuses. I've seen them ranging from $3000 - $10,000.

The answer to your question depends on what you consider to be an expensive lifestyle. The typical salary range for a Registered Nurse in the U.S. is $21.98 - $28.43/hour. A nurse's salary will vary depending on the location, experience level and employment setting, but the average nurse's salary will probably never match that of, say, a famous actor. That may seem obvious, but someone who earns $500k or more will be able to afford a more expensive lifestyle than someone who earns $60k.
