Okay, so Sandy has a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Michigan State University. She has about 1.5 years of experience in inpatient orthopedics, which is a relatively short period. Considering her role as a registered nurse, her location in Stoughton, Wisconsin, and the fact that she doesn't have any advanced degrees or certifications, I'm estimating her hourly rate to be around $40. This is a relatively low rate compared to other nurses with similar experience and education, but it's not uncommon for entry-level or short-term nursing positions in smaller locations.
