I think it still is a 'hot' profession as you can always find a job. It may not be the area or shift you want but nonetheless a job. The base pay of a full time experienced RN in my facility is around $100,000. Physically and mentally the job is draining and I could never do it full time. Up until about January of this year though it's been almost ridiculous how much we could make in overtime. Time and a half for the first four hours, then double time for the next four hours, throw in some shift differential and location differential and we were talking real money. Those days are over as I have heard that hospitals all over S. California have cut out the overtime. We have lost members as people have lost their jobs and insurance. Due to the tight economy, RNs are not giving up their shifts , etc (many are the main breadwinner for the family). It may not be the greatest job in the world -- but I'm certainly light years more employable than the youngest son who graduates from UCSD next week with a degree political science!!
