Answer 1

It would depend on the discipline the graduate degree program educated the nurse to perform.

The most common occupations performed by nurses with a Masters degree and the salary ranges in LA are as follows:

Nurse Practitioner: $85,000 - $175,000

Nurse Anesthetist: $135,000 - $386,000

Midwife: $95,000 - $160,000

Clinical Nurse Specialist: $65,000 - $91,000

Nurse Administrator: $95,000 - $302,000

These all have Masters degrees, though the nurse administrators frequently will have a Masters in Hospital Administration or a dual Hospital Admin/MBA.

There are several forms of doctorally prepared nurses, Ph.D, DNS, Ed.D. When a nurse goes into a doctoral program, he/she is, frequently, looking for an advancement in knowledge, and not a significan advancement in income. Many doctorally prepared nurses work in the academic arena (though all perform clinical activities to maintain their skills) and the salaries for educators, usually, are lower than can be made if working full time clinically.

A nurse with a masters level graduate degree is, usually several years shy of acheiving the doctoral degree. However, Nurse Practitioners and Nurse Anesthetists perform 85% of the tasks performed by physicians in the same field (ie: anesthesia or family practice)
