These wages for RNs are WAY OUT OF RANGE!!! At least for Milwaukee, WI where there is an ample supply of nurses. There are at least 10-15 schools in the area chranking out nurses as fast as they can. Wages are way lower, even with agency work.

I'm an LPN in in the bronx. I make 22per and I'm fresh out of school. Friends of mine from school are making 27 and 29per. Can't wait til I get a year exp under my belt. A def 29-35per hour. And its easy to find multiple jobs as a nurse. Nursing is the best! My father, mother, and I are all nurses and wouldn't trade it for anything in this world.

Yeah, I am agreeing that the mean annual wage is a little high. I am maxed out in base salary, due to being a nurse so long.
