Registered Nurse Salary: Average & Regional Breakdown (Bi-Weekly)

The average salary for a registered nurse (RN) in the United States is $77,600 per year, or $3,712 every two weeks. However, this salary can vary depending on several factors, such as the nurse's experience, location, and specialty.

For example, RNs who work in California earn an average of $110,560 per year, while those who work in Mississippi earn an average of $58,480 per year. Additionally, RNs who specialize in critical care or anesthesia can earn higher salaries than those who work in general medical and surgical units.

With these factors in mind, the average salary for a nurse every two weeks can range from $2,800 to $5,500.
