Any register nurse who can tell me how much they get pay?

How much would you charge someone to change their diaper? What about watching someone die when you have done everything in your power to try to save their life? If your nurse gave you the wrong medication and you suffered an ill reaction how much would you sue her for?
Nurses do not get paid enough for the amount of responsibility they carry. It is a high stress job with mandatory over-time; we see the worst of human nature when a child comes into the ED sexually assaulted with their bowels protruding out of their anus. For the amount of responsibility and emotional trauma we suffer from patients, doctors, and family members (not to mention other nurses) the pay SUCKS! LOL!
It takes a special person to enter the medical field regardless of the pay. If you are the type of person who will continually sacrifice your sanity for another human and find peace in your own soul after coming home from seeing the ugliness of humanity than this job is for you!

Below average wages with the amount of time worked and amount of money invested in education.

It really depends on where you are, how much experience you have and what area you are going to work in, specializing sometimes gets more pay, along with higher credentials. but base pay for an RN should be anywhere from22-30 dollars an hour. If you choose a position that you don;t get medical or other benefits, you get significantly more, and if you are saya helicopter nurse, you can get up to 75 dollars an hour depending on what part of the country you go, keep in mind higher paying parts of the country usually have higher cost of living, and alot depends on supply and demand

It really depends on your location. Depending on the hospital, nurses in NYC can start around 60k.

Here is information from the Bureau of Labor and Statistics.
