Save this one.
Build a 7-slide carousel from the BLS May 2025 state table:
Slide 1 β "Where your licence is worth most. And least."
Slide 2 β Top 5 states by RN mean wage
Slide 3 β Bottom 5 states by RN mean wage
Slide 4 β The national mean: $101,420
Slide 5 β The cost-of-living caveat, stated honestly
Slide 6 β What to do with this: compact licence states, remote roles, relocation maths
Slide 7 β "Save this before your next contract conversation"
Caption: The spread between the highest and lowest paying states for the same RN licence is roughly $73,000 a year. Most nurses have never seen their own state on a list next to the others.
Pull the state figures from bls.gov/oes β search "registered nurses" then your state. Do not use a staffing agency's version of this table; use the federal source.

Three sets of letters. Three very different numbers.
RN β $97,550 median
NP β $132,300 median
CRNA β $248,320 mean
That's a $34,750 step from RN to NP, and $150,770 from RN to CRNA. All BLS, May 2025.
Two honest caveats. RN and NP are medians; the CRNA figure is a mean, which runs higher. And none of this accounts for what the qualification costs you in tuition and lost income while you study β we'll do that maths properly next week.
But if you've been told advanced practice "isn't really worth it financially," that is not what the federal wage data says.
