Does yours ever really increase though? I probably don't understand nursing but I thought it was a job where you can't really get promoted unlike a normal corporate job.

Pay increases with years of service ~$1/hr per year and with base pay increases. If it wasn’t for that, you could image a nurse who started in 1980 still making $25k/year today. If we didn’t fight, the hospitals wouldn’t give us a dime more.
