Hello Bianka.

While not a primary reason to enter any healthcare position (medical/nursing), having a basic understanding of compensation may help guide you in deciding which path to take. I think what is most important is to understand which science is of most interest to you.

Here is some information on salary:
https://nightingale.edu/blog/nurse-salary-by-state/

Here are the similarities and difference between nurse/physician salaries:

Here is a basic explanation describing the differences between medical/nursing practice:
https://doseofpa.blogspot.com/2014/02/the-medical-model-vs-nursing-model.html

The common misperception is that nurses know less than physicians and therefore do not deserve the same degree of respect. Nurses know many aspects of medical practice. But we also know nursing science. And it is a professional science!!

Depends on the location and specialty. Also depends on whether in hospital or outpatient setting. A good estimated range is $25-40 per hour.

Dr. Frank’s Answer

The starting salary of a Registered Nurse can range from around $28,000-$50,000 per year, depending on location and job industry. The starting hourly wage of an RN can range from $16.50-26.00 per hour. This salary will increase over time as nurses gain experience, certifications, and specialize in a specific area.

On the other hand, Adult-gerontology nurse practitioners typically make an average of $95,800 per year. The reported salary range starts at $88,700 and goes up to $117,000, which means that throughout your career, you could earn upwards of six figures.
