Decent money?
Coming from you, I'm not sure how to take that, since you think ALPA makes sure pilots are compensated properly.
Starting pay of a nurse ranges from $40-$60k depending on what field and region. When they leave one hospital for another, they don't start back at first year pay.

including watching kids paint their bodies in what we called "War Paint" then when they were done, they would eat the remains of their "war paint".....oh yeah, war paint is thier own feces.

There are a few people on this board that probably indulge in this action as well!!! uke:

Not entirely true. At one time most RN programs were ASN, and could be done in 2 years. The BSN was just for those that wanted to move up into adminstration or nursing education programs.

Its gradually moved more towards BSN programs and there are a lot less ASN than there used to be, but there are still some out there, and one can still take RN boards with an ASN.

For someone who just wants to be an RN and doesnt care about being head nurse, stuff like that, ASN is perfectly fine. My mom is an ICU/CCU nurse, and just made 100,000 this year.

Less programs, but bigger class sizes, well over 200 folks at some schools.
Get the ASN at community college first, then do an online bridge.
Best return on investment these days.
I'm not an RN, (PT for the last 15 years) but I have researched my options.

Check into state programs as well. My sister is a head nurse in L&D at a hospital in MI. She was saying that due to shortages many states are offering specialized loan packages that function as a contract-spend a designated number of years in the state that financed you and you will not need to pay the tuition. I'll ask her for some specifics when I see her.

After finding his pictures online, it looks like he eats way too many chili dogs.

I make more money as a RN.

And at least no nurses go volunteer to work half price, or for free, or pay to be a nurse.

I did my ADN (associates degree first) then went back and did a fast track BSN (bachelors science in nursing) which took a year. I made good money 70-75K a year. There are so many oppurtunites out there; endless. If you want more money take call or pick up shifts. I have been doing it for over 12 years. If you have any questions pm me.

Go the easy route and just bang an nurse. First of all nurses are nasty. If you can find a nurse thats a CRNA or PA they are going to make double your wages as CA at the regional. Use your days off to make them happy and you don't have the trouble of going to school. Remind them you have travel bennies to sunny island spots and your golden.

Being a nurse isn't as "sexy" as being a pilot. Neither is being a longshoreman or a Union Auto Worker
