That's not a difficult one.
Go to:

And print out the expected earnings for Registered Nurses:
"Median annual earnings of registered nurses were $48,090 in 2002. The middle 50 percent earned between $40,140 and $57,490. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $33,970, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $69,670."
That's more than enough to raise an average family on.
With the Nursing Shortage getting worse, salaries can only go up for the next 15 years.
