The paint manufacturing industry produces a wide variety of products for coating a number of different surfaces. There are base paints, colored paints, top coat paints, lacquers, stains, spray paints, and sealers. All of these products use large quantities of benzene in the production of the products.
Nurses starting salaries are much higher than in other industries due to the current shortage of qualified staff, particularly registered nurses (RNs). The national median nurse starting salary is projected at $66,640 during 2016-2017, with overall employment in the field expected to rise 16% within the next decade. Nurse Practitioners have the highest of all employees in the field ($95,350-95,820). The current RN starting salary is $15,000 more than that of an LPN.
NurseDegreeGuide.com places the average starting salary for registered nurses in the United States at approximately $39,000 per year. A first year RN's average pay rate can range from $19.57 per hour to $25.10 per hour, according to PayScale.com. PayScale.com's estimates translate to approximately $40,700 to $52,200 per year for RNs working a standard 40 -hour work week.
