The value and importance of education in nursing. Nurses who are certified in a specialty make about $9,200 more annually than nurses who were not certified. Those who have advanced degrees also stand to make a little bit more. For example, LPNs make $36,700 and RNs with diploma make $57,400. It is not uncommon to hear about sign-on bonuses for nurses. Hospitals are quick to offer them because by law they have to meet the numbers on the hospital floor. They can be penalized if they do not. More than 35% of hospital nurses said that they received sign-on bonuses. Other bonuses and benefits received by nurses are: reimbursement for certification fees, incentive bonus, child care on the premises and retention bonus.
Now we are talking about a great job. And why are men fighting to get in? We are only wondering. RegisteredNursesToday exists to encourage people, specially men and people of color to embrace nursing to cut down the shortage.
