How much does an RN with an A.A.S. make? And how much does an RN make with a B.S.?

Question

I am located in NYC

Answer 1

sorry but will need to do this yourself

go to www.payscale.com

and put in your city, state etc

when it comes to your employer just put in a hospital near you

it will ask your pay, just put in like 30.00 an hour

at the end it will show you the low-high range in your area

depends on where you work also,  hospital's typically pay more

Answer 2

in most jobs the same..............

the difference comes in when you look at future growth, continuing education as well as requirements for some positions.

with a BSN there are more management opportunities which may pay more as well as masters programs such as nurse practitioner or nurse mid-wife which require a BSN  to get into.

EDIT:

RN in NYC

bottom 10% average wage $54,000.00 year

top 10% average wage $101,000.00 year

Answer 3

At my husband's current job when he got his BSN his pay grade rose by $2 per hour.  But as an ADN he was making way more than the $30/hour the previous answerer stated.  The big salary jump is from BSN to MSN - you might as well go all the way if you are going!  Starting pay for an ADN is around $18/hour here; my husband has experience and a management position.  

Answer 4

It completely depends on where you live. I live in NY, and I make $60K a year as an RN with a BSN ($30/hr). I only make $1 more an hour than my ADN RN colleagues though. But the hope is that with the BSN I can move up to administration at some point.

I think you should get the bachelor's degree b/c that way if you decide you hate nursing, then at least you have a degree and will have more job opportunities. I hate hospital nursing and I'm trying to get a job in a doctors office instead, which will pay a lot less but won't be as horrible hopefully!
