You can make a lot of $$ as an RN if you're willing to work in an ICU, ER, or OR in a major metropolitan city and do overtime. I work with quite a few nurses who make over $100,000/year with doing one extra 12/hr shift per week for 48 hours total. They are critical care nurses who work night shift and some weekends. All medical jobs are demanding but all Dr.'s and NP's take their work home with them and are on call all the time. RN's, rad tech's, respiratory etc can get the over time if they want it but make less then dr's but don't take their work home with them.
