7 - Pay
Although nurses are well-paid compared to the average American worker, many would like or need to earn more.
Sometimes that means moving in the geographical sense, as pay is often tied to locality.
Government positions typically pay more for RNs than hospitals do, according to the BLS, and may draw nurses who are otherwise happy in the profession.
Related positions can also be a draw; being a pharmaceutical rep, for example, allows the nurse to draw on his or her education in the field while making considerably more money.
High pay within the hospital is often tied either to management positions or to shift work – many organizations pay a differential for less popular shifts like nights.
Working nights has some definite disadvantages, though, so a nurse who has the opportunity to make more money elsewhere on a day shift is likely to jump ship.
