How much does a registered nurse earn in Utah?

Answer 1

I would estimate it may be closer to 40K to 45K range. I saw several real salary information for registered nurse at a site http://www.salarydom.com. Link for registered nurse salary is:

When i filtered per state, I couldn't find specifically for Utah state. However it does give you some idea of what the salary range for registered nurse is in other states that you can adjust based on cost of living in Utah.

Good luck.

I just wanted to expand a little on what the abover person wrote.

My spouse is an RN. Last year he made well over 100K and only had two associates degrees, one in health administration and one in nursing. The real issue here is experience. He has been a RN for 14 years, but not just in one area of nursing. If you want to max our your pay as a RN (versus going back to school which is costly, to receive RN anesthetist or something more of a speciality think again ), then you need to allow yourself more exposure within the field of nursing to increase your skills.

What do I mean? My spouse first worked as a lab tech, then went to nursing school, received an Associates degree in nursing, and went right into nursing. when he graduated, he worked in a few different units. Over the course of his years, he went from regular RN floors, cardiac, ortho, etc....and rotated into pediatrics, then the nursery, then the nicu. He did have to receive some certifications, which he was able to do through the hospital (at no cost to him, except time wise).

If you want to make the big bucks, invest your time and set aside your fear, and get exposure on different floors. some nurses stay in the same unit for years, which keeps their pay at the bottom, only benefitting with tiny yearly pay increases. You can do it!

so don't ever go by what the average pay is in a certain state or area-it comes down to experience.
