edit: so ya, none of our nurses get anywhere close to six figures. Might be different in larger cities or hospitals.
the nurses i know work at hospitals here in ottawa. they make a middle class living i guess. i've never asked but they live in average homes driving average cars. i figure they probably make 50-60k a year or so. by no means are they 'well off'. especially when a 3 bedroom townhome in the suburbs here costs 300k.
