Could anyone give me an idea of the pay rates for RNs in the Hot Springs area hospitals ? I have been an Rn 7 years, was a LPN 18 years. I have experience in med/surge, telemetry, peds, post partum, and most recently LTAC/HOU. My husband and I are thinking of moving to Hot Springs Village soon. We live in Mississippi now but Arkansas is our home state.

Your Welcome! Also if you go in the float pool, which it sounds like you could be in speciality float pool, you make more money. I don't know how much more though. I do know that if I was to go PRN I would make $8 more an hour but lose my health insurance. With your experience you would make more anyway. I know we need nurses pretty bad. I hope this helps! Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

The night shift differential is $3.5 from 3 p - 11p and $4.5 from 11p - 7 a. I can text, call u or email u the name I don't know if I should put that on here!

While there are a couple of hospitals in Hot Springs you could attempt to work at, I would recommend looking at hospitals in Little Rock. Hot Springs Village is about an hour from Little Rock and the average pay, that I have heard from friends, is higher in the capital city. Plus, you are looking at 2 hospitals in Hot Springs, there are approximately 6 in Little Rock.

Just remember: PRN nurses do make more money, but they are not offered benefits (hence why they are paid more).

Thanks NurseStephen! I will consider that. I knew Little Rock wasn't too far away . And I believe there is another hospital in Benton close by as well ? I'll check them all out. PRN is always my first choice. But my husband has always carried our insurance . That may change when we move to Arkansas as he may be retiring early due to his rheumatoid arthritis .
