Okay, let’s tackle this. So Anita has a Master’s degree in Registered Nursing and has been working as a Registered Nurse for over 7 years. The average hourly rate for a Registered Nurse in the US is around $40–$60 per hour. Considering her experience and education, I would estimate her hourly rate to be on the lower end of this range, likely around $45 per hour. This is also influenced by her current location, New York, NY, which is one of the more expensive cities for healthcare professionals. Some sources suggest that experienced RNs in NYC can earn upwards of $70 per hour, but Anita’s role and experience don’t quite fit that bill.
