    not sure what the wages are, they vary by state and job positions. wages are probably googleable, but generally they start $28-32 and increase $1/year until the cap of about $40/hr is reached

    the options for RNs are endless.
    its not just hospital work anymore, registered nurses are required in several other fields:

    pediatric facilities
    maternal.child clinics/programs
    public health infection control and prevention
    immunization clinics
    public health organizers
    mental health
    home care
    individual health clinics (walk-ins)
    traveling nurse that visits remote and urbanized areas in need
    reserve nurses
    rehabilitation facilities
    long-term care

    and MANY MANY more i cannot think of off the top of my head
