Mo’s Answer

If you work in a hospital your salary usually will increase every year, but it’s typically a small pay raise. Most hospitals it’s less than a dollar. If you’re a charge nurse or move up on the clinical ladder by precepting other nurses, doing research projects, getting certifications, etc then you could get a little more of a pay raise. You could always attempt to negotiate your salary as well. Unfortunately to see a decent pay raise, usually one has to leave their current hopsital and get employed at a different hospital(I started my career in 2019 at a hospital and was making $24.28/hr. After being there for almost a year and a half, my pay was $24.82. If I left that job and went to a different hospital in the area I would’ve started at about $28~ and would have some wiggle room to negotiate pay), advance your education, go into management, or start travel nursing (this is what I did)!

Graham’s Answer

My wife is a registered nurse and loves her career. There are many career paths and directions you can take being an RN - Bedside, Pediatrics, administrative, leadership, etc. The shift hours can be long (8/12 hrs long day or night), but the schedule flexibility is great. For example, work 3 days on and then take 5 days off. The longer you work, the more seniority you earn and with seniority comes increases in salary. You may be part of a union too, and that can help with the salary conversation. You may also qualify for a work pension once you retire, so that's a great perk.
