Emancipation by court permission. Some (not all) states allow a minor to be emancipated by court order.

Salary for new grads (and nurses in general!) totally varies. New grads at the hospital where I work start between $85-90k per year. My mom, who has worked as an RN at our hospital for many years makes $165k/year, while there are other seasoned nurses in our system who have topped out around $110k. ICU nurses at a teaching hospital nearby make $220k. It all depends, but the wages for nurses are very decent throughout the bay area! Good luck to all!
Nurses with 10 to 19 years of neonatal nursing experience earn high annual salaries, averaging between $80,901 and $104,313 per year. The most experienced neonatal nurse practitioners, 20 or more years of work experience, on average earn more than $111,000 per year. Labor and delivery nurseâs salary can span a wide range, making it a bit more difficult to pinpoint just how much Labor and Delivery nurses make. On average, their salaries are set anywhere from $40,000 to 90,000 per year depending on experience, education, employer and location.
