Registered Nurse

The salary of a registered nurse is between 35,000 and 70,000 a year. They can make alot more by working over time and also by being an on call nurse. The earnings are based on educational level, experience, and the type of workplace.
The career paths start with the staff nurse. They earn 35-50,000 a year, they are required to have a bachelors degree in nursing and a state license. they provide general care and give treatments and medications. next is the head nurse. They earn 40-60,000 a year and are required to have a masters degree along with the proper experience. responsibilities are same as staff nurse. Finally, is the head of hospital nursing staff. They earn quite more than any nurse, 55-75,000 a year. They are required to have several years of experience in nursing. Their job is to oversee the patient care of other nurses.
I learned from the interview that they are looking for positive answers and people with much experience an d to know what they are doing.
