How much do surgical nurses earn per year?

This depends on the location of the hospital in which you work. Larger, big city hospitals pay more than the smaller, rural hospitals. But the salaries can range anywhere from $50,000 to $150,000, depending on the geographical area. Other factors are experience and what type of degree the nurse has. If the surgical nurse already has experience in this area, then the salary will, of course, be a bit higher. Also, an RN (registered nurse) will make more than an LPN (licensed practical nurse) will.
