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.
