Does anyone know the average salary for a masters degree in nursing?

I want to get my masters degree in nursing and specialize in neonatal (newborn babies). Does anyone know about the average salary for that type of degree and level?

It depends on part of the country you live in, years experience, and advance certifications.

Some hospitals will not let you start there till you get experience with normal size people, then normal size babies. Others will take you right in.

It could be as little as 25K and probably starts around 35K.

Once you get your degree, you will still need your ACLS, PALS NALS and the list goes on.

In the year 2000, the first 1000 gram baby turned 18 and was as normal as any other 18 year old. Last I heard a 750 gram baby has a 50% chance of survival.

Advances are making them rare. A lot of nurses are afraid of high-tech pediatrics. It can be very rewarding but if you want to go there for the money, there is more to be made elsewhere. It is very demanding on your schedule. Nights and weekends are a given for new nurses. Also you will give up many holidays with your family.

Other than that, it is one of the most awesome jobs on the planet.
