it does if you've been in for a while and have a lot of experience. it pays well even with little experience compared to typical bullshit jobs so it's a big increase in quality of life even going to a school for 2 or so years to get an LVN license instead of going to college and becoming an RN
but all the jobs that are big time with the huge ceiling require more work and career investment than people are generally aware of when they hear in high school "go to college and get a degree in this." it's the same thing it always is, people are afraid of starting small and building themselves up.
In Arizona, where cost of living is low, nursing entry level jobs pay $30/hr right out of the 2 year community college nursing program. Specialized nursing with a 4 year degree can paying 100k+.
After 10 years in the industry most are making 75k+ per year. You will make much more than this in some cities. It's a good career.
It absolutely can.
It's possible to cap yourself with a nice comfortable clinic job or a regular schedule. But if you want to work extra shifts at another hospital that's not your main gig or if you want to work 3rd or 2nd shift, it certainly can. "How much do you want to work?"
They do make good money and maybe just as important is the job outlook and security. They aren't outsourced like the majority of the rest of us not in a service industry. Median income with a bachelors degree and experience is $73,000. Lots of signing bonuses right now too.
Does it? I keep on hearing very conflicting things about that.

And as an added bonus everyone thinks your are a hero for making that kind of money lol.
Absolutely. Considering you're an RN. Even LPNs and CNAs make good money.
