Head Nurse
Median Salary: $87,322, higher in certain departments
Typical Requirements: RN with at least five years of direct experience
Whether it’s in an ICU, CCU, OR, ER or obstetrics department, if there’s more than one nurse, there’s usually a head nurse. While still dealing directly with patients, the head nurse is also responsible for patient records, performance reports, inventory levels and the day-to-day duties important to every nursing department.

Again this depends on which State you are working, because that's about what nurses makes in New York and California

LMAO! I've been a charge nurse on an Oncology unit for 3 years and only grossed $45,000 this year. NOT accurate!
