less labor intensitve duties and more respect
This vastly depends on specialty, you really cannot generalize. Not every nurse is wiping arse and have 6 patient loads. There are a lot of PAs that are hands on and are not sitting all day. The flip is there are some patients that only want to be treated by MD's and refuse PAs and NPs and look down on them.
These are outliers, but does happen.

Odinson, again sir, not here. I out earn a PA here by 75k or more. It is an excellent field full of great practitioners but it does not pan out that way everywhere. Therefore if you are considering education for a career change, RN in some areas earn more for less education costs. This is not a dick measuring contest.....this is a commentary on simple economics.

That is so sad. My base rate is $40/hr in AZ....and that isn't including my shift diffs...and I'm just a peds floor nurse(not ICU).

I work m-th...no OT, no weekends and no holidays. I don't get paged regarding pts once I clock out. I have a fully funded pension, free healthcare for my whole family, 403B and 457 plans, 10 paid holidays a year, and a kick arse pto/sick accrual. My quality of life as an RN would at minimum be as good as a PA. To top it off I haven't wiped arse in years. Not all RN jobs are created equal.
So basically you are saying you are overpaid?

$17 for a new grad here

Yeah the South and the Midwest pay their nurses dogcrap compared to other areas of the US.
It's why when I was a travelnurse I met soooo many other travelnurses from either the South or the Midwest

The average ICU RN in NOLA is making just shy of $70k/yr.
I wasn't a math major but that's not $25/hr.

It was higher in Lafayette 14 years ago than it is now from what I'm told

By the way, 70k comes out to $33/hr. And that 70k is after difs, so if I was a betting man I would day that ICU avg comes awfully freaking close to $25/hr base

What hospital?
She could also be a float/pool nurse that doesn't include benefits
