My wife is a Charge Nurse in a MedSurg floor doing night shifts, plus 3 of my brothers are nurses and one of them is Director of Nursing in a facility. Fresh grads start at $25/hr base but differentials make them hit $67k a year easily in a state with a lower cost of living. Overtime pay is +50% of base, plus all differentials are additive and you get a pension after at least 5 years of working. Clinics, senior care, and hospital systems are offering signing bonuses of $20k, plus relocation assistance. Travel nurses start at $45/hr. Float nurses start at 40. Choosing the "weekend-only" option where you have to work Friday-Saturday-Sunday every week is an automatic +$10/hr, regardless of your current base pay (which is huge for a fresh graduate).
My wife has peers that have lower base pay than her that make triple what she makes per year because they are always working extra shifts and weekends. TRIPLE aka $200,000+ yearly. Very few other industries allow you to choose to do paid over time at your convenience and then get paid +50% base, +5$/hr for night shift, +3$/hr for critical staffing, +$4/hr for weekend shift, etc. Her co-workers have multiple houses, pay their kids' college tuition in cash, buy all their luxury SUVs in cash, and save well for early retirement.
I really suggest that guys look into nursing as a career option. My wife says the figures for their hospital are officially under 5% male and you will be a highly valued resource whose career will skyrocket past your female peers if you are willing to grab one of the many opportunities that will be presented to you on a silver platter. Also male nurses get to work in a female-dominated workforce that is increasingly younger every year. Even the male techs are getting tons of action. I have relatives that are male nursing assistants that have multiple girlfriends and flings, often in the same hospital too(much to their wives' and kids' dismay). Doctors are less desirable for your female nurse coworkers and they have more student debt anyway.
Plus you have a ton of advancement options for your career that offer alternatives to bedside care.
