More than half of nurse leaders earn between $80,000 and $130,000, while the next largest percentage earns more than $130,000, according to a new study. According to the new report from the American Organization of Nurse Executives, annual salaries from responding nurse leaders vary largely, based on position and longevity. In the second, largest group of nurse leaders noted, 34 percent of respondents earn $130,000 or more, which is broken down as: 12 percent earn between $130,000 and $150,000, 13 percent earn between $150,000 and $200,000, and nine percent earning $200,000 or more. More than 4,300 member nurses nationwide responded to the annual survey. The report also details salary level as it correlates to years of leadership experience. The 10–year mark appears to be the tipping point in terms of higher salaries for nurse leaders. The majority of respondents with zero to 10 years of leadership experience, including 73 percent of those with six to 10 years, report a salary less than $120,000 per year. - See more at: http://healthcaretraveler.modernmedicine.c...
