What psychiatric nurses make
Median
$90,000
Lower end
$62,000
Upper end
$113,000
Job Bank's national median is $43.27 an hour, about $90,000 a year at 40 hours a week. The lower end ($30) and upper end ($54.37) are the bottom and top of the wage range for everyone in the group. Job Bank pools psychiatric nurses with registered nurses in one occupation code, so the figures are the same for both.
