California registered nurses make $88,714 a year on average, excluding benefits, up 20 percent from a decade ago, after adjusting for inflation, according to the California Employment Development Department.

Sutter officials said that their Bay Area RNs earn up to $136,000, plus employer-paid benefits and pensions.
