How much does a register nurse make in a year?

Answer 1

Depends upon how much schooling the RN completed. Minimally, the RN requires a two year (Associates) degree.

A four year (Bachelors) degree RN will earn higher wages. I suppose a RN could even have a doctorate in their profession. Higher education usually translates into higher wages.

Answer 2

Staff (non supervising) Registered nurses with a Bachelors degree make in the $25 to $30 per hour range depending on location and employer. Hospitals pay more than a physician's private practice by a couple of dollars per hour.

Answer 3

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics the estimated mean annual wage for a registered nurse as of May 2008 was, $65,130.

Answer 4

The most senior RNs make $96,082 a year.
