I am in nursing school right now, I have a year left until I graduate. I am going into nursing because I love it, not because of the money. However, I have heard so many different things about how much money nurses make, I was wondering if anybody could give me a straight answer. I know it varies depending on experience, the facility, etc, but I will have a BSN and I live near Salt Lake City, UT. Does anybody know what realistic expectations I should have as a brand new grad?  Like I said, it has been my dream to be a nurse, the money doesn't change that, I just don't know what to expect. Thanks!!
