Curious about Pediatric ICU Nursing Salaries?

Hey everyone, I've been exploring different nursing specialties and am really drawn to pediatrics, particularly the Pediatric ICU. I've heard that PICU nurses can make a good salary, but I'm having trouble finding reliable information. Can anyone share their experiences or insights on how much pediatric ICU nurses typically make? I'd love to hear from both new grads and seasoned nurses in the field. Thanks in advance for your help! #pediatrics #nursingsalary #PICU

Hi @NurseNurturer! I can share that the average salary for PICU nurses varies by location and experience level. In my experience, new grad PICU nurses in urban areas can start around $60,000-$70,000, while those with more experience can earn upwards of $90,000 or more. Keep in mind that benefits and bonuses can also impact total compensation. #pediatrics #nursingsalary

That's a great question, @NurseNurturer! I can confirm that PICU nursing can be a rewarding and financially stable career path. In addition to salary, consider the potential for growth and specialization within pediatrics. Many PICU nurses eventually move into roles like clinical nurse specialists, nurse practitioners, or nurse educators. #pediatrics #nursingcareer #PICU
