A. A website you can check out is -- they have salary comparison information within the same industry, and also includes specific names of companies and locations. They also have a personalized salary report feature, where you can request a report based on specific parameters like occupation and company. You can find out the top paying companies in your chosen industry and your salary ranking as well.

What is the difference between a registered nurse and a behavioral registered nurse for adolescent children?
Q. I want to become a nurse but I want it to involve children, although I can live with a job that doesn't. I want to become a nurse for the primary reason that I don't want to attend collage for very long but I want to make enough money to live comfortably and to provide my family. So which makes more money and what is the difference between a regular registered nurse and a behavioral registered nurse for adolescent children?

A. The ideal relationship between a nurse and doctor should be one of mutual respect and collaboration, although that is not always the case. The nurse has much more contact with the patient and reports significant findings, responses to treatment and changes of condition to the doctor (verbally or through charts). The nurse carries out treatments and medications ordered if he or she finds them appropriate. Nurses don't work for doctors. Their primary responsibility is to the patient and they report to their unit's nurse manager. These nurses are colleagues and work in different units. Occasionally a psychiatric nurse practitioner is called to a unit to evaluate a person for mental problems. It is very important to have a good… [cont.]

What do you think of men entering nursing, specifically become nurse anesthetists?
Q. I am a 22 yr old male who just graduated from college with a BS in Economics. I am considering going back to get a BSN and eventually a MSN in Nurse Anesthesia. I have always loved healthcare and have been great at science, specifically anatomy. I don't know why I did not do this before. What do you think of the idea?

The more technical term is Registered Nurse. The hospital volunteer guy is wrong. So, that's a registered nurse, you have to have a degree, either 2 year, which is associates, 4 year, bachelors which is the best minimum education a nurse should have, and extra 2 to however many for a nurse practitioner.

How exactly does an associates in nurse education work?

Also, if I then get a job as an RN is it best to be working towards my Bachelors degree in nursing at the same time? And if I so chose, could I finish off and get my Master's in Social Work? I know it will take me a while, but I want to work it out slow because it's expensive and I'm not the richest person in the world. Is this a good plan?
Asked by AshleyH - Mon Dec 11 23:04:12 2006 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I have not met any Nurses who have become social workers, but it certainly is doable. You will want to make sure you have a liberal arts base to your BSN (look at the requirements to admissions in the MSW program you are interested in - since social work is a social science as compared to a physical science (which nursing fits in) you will want to be sure you have the prereququisit classes. you might also want to talk to those in nursing about a master's in nursing. Depending on what you want to do many hospitals are increasingly using nurses to do fucntions done by social workers (most social workers are not happy about this).

A. About $100,000-$200,000 per year. ;) CRNA: Master's degree prepared (6-7 years of full-time college in all). Depending on an individual facility's policies, might not be allowed to perform certain procedures (epidural placements, solo on a general anesthesia case, etc.) MDA: 4 years college, 4 years med school, 3+? years internship / residency / specialization in anesthesia, and possibly more if a fellowship is done. Can do any procedure. CRAs make about $120,000 per year to start. And you're darn right it can be stressful. You literally hold a patient's life in your hands when they are under anesthesia.

A. First, do you have high school courses to your credit that prepare you for university. If you don't or don't have an average over 70% or the average that is needed to enter the program then I would suggest you go to your local college and take pre-nursing or whatever is offered that helps to get you ready for the nursing program. This will last only one year and in that time if you have good marks you can apply to your local university and if you get accepted then I would suggest you stay for the whole four years and get your bachelors because this kinda what I am doing right now. The higher your education the better salary and jobs option you will have. After the four years you need to apply for a license in order to practice in a variety… [cont.]
