<p>You'll find lots of info if you do a google search. RN takes less time (2-4 years, depending on whether you want an associates or a bachelors degree) than NP (RN + specialty work). Nurses of all levels make better money than a lot of others with the same amount of education in a different field. The math req varies but isn't too bad.</p>
<p>My brother knows a nurse that makes $120K with $1.6M networth in CA (she is a good friend of him). So apparently nurses do make enough to live in SoCa. I have no idea whether this person is RN or NP. But I think the reason why nurse makes more money is because of the overtime. You might one to ask this question in the Parents Forum. You'll get a lot more inputs from parents, many have a lot of knowledge in this field.</p>
