You can obtain this goal by getting a 4 year Bachelor of Science in Nursing Degree, Associate Degree in Nursing or earning a Nursing diploma. The average RN salary in Michigan is $76,710 a year, or $37 an hour.

The Bachelor of Science in Nursing program which most health care providers prefer, generally includes the first two years of general education courses and classes such as anatomy, introduction to psychology, general chemistry and nutrition. The last two years are focused on core-curriculum classes including pharmacology, community health, mental health, clinical leadership, nursing and therapeutics.

The Associates Degree in Nursing takes two years to complete and typically offers the advantage of college level academic and professional instruction in the classroom and clinical areas. The Nursing diploma pathway, which is the least popular option, is obtained by studying nursing for several years while working in a hospital alongside other nurses and under the supervision of a nurse educator.

Driven by high demand, pay for Registered Nurses has been steadily increasing over the years and some nurses even report securing a signing bonus from some employers.
