What type of nurse makes the most money?

I want to study to be a nurse but I'm wondering if there are different types of nurses and what type of nurse makes the most money?

Traveling nursing! My aunt is a travelin nurse in Jackson, Ms, and she make a great salary. All she does is travel around Jackson (do not have to go outside the city), and check on the patients who can not get themselves to the doctor's office.

RN and above.RN's get $50 an hour LVN's get $25 an hour CNA's aren't nurses but get alot of sh*t nonetheless which is were you have to start and work up to.

Some ideas:
Nurse Anesthetist
Administrative nursing position.
Nurse Practitioner.
The first and last on the list take additional educational preparation beyond a BA in Nursing. Administrative positions may require an advanced degree such as an MA or a PhD

Travel nursing is great paying. Also Rn's with their BSN can make a great salary as well.

I dont know about in the us. .but i think in canada, a nurse practioner makes the most money.........

If you want to stay at the baccalaureate/associate level, then be and RN and specialize in an area and become certified in it - that way you get paid more. This requires having a certain amount of hours experienced in that area (e.g. 1800 hours - around 1.5-2years) and taking an exam (e.g. a ccrn exam).
OR nurses typically make better money than most other specialties. I know nurses in NY that make close to 100k with 7-8 yrs experience, and >100k in CA/SF- bay area with just an RN.

If you want to pursue nursing on a master's level, nurse anesthetists make the most money of all nursing specialties, but requires 2-3 years of intensive grad school work. Depending on where you work, you can get ~150k starting and make more than 200k later on.

im sure you hear this a lot, but if you're doing nursing for the money, it's exhausting .. there are easier ways to make more money. but if you like it, it's certainly a rewarding career.

Sophia, a great career move would be to become a Forensic nurse. Not only is it a lucrative career but everyday would be a challenging one and there would never be a boring moment.

The type that sleeps with the doctors..... ok bad joke :P
