How much RNs make a year?

This can vary widely from state to state, even hospital to hospital and also depend on the department involved. And of course, in private practice anything is possible with negotiation.

The lowest end for an RN is typically 25-35k a year.

In larger cities or with experience, 45-75k is possible.

Supervising RN or management positions in the largest hospitals can go even higher than this with a rare few even reaching 100k.
