Angry Va nurse
There were some questions about VA nurses. I work in a 200 bed hospital in their 12 bed CCU unit. i have my ADN. graduated in 95 w/ base pay 11.07 for Med Surg. The last 6 years i have worked CCU. I am now making 16.83 an hour. I am PALS certified and ACLS Instructor Certified. I get no extra pay for this. We get no speciatly pay for working CCU because we are told that all the units are speciatly. We get no extra pay for coming in when busy unless we go over 40 hrs then time and 1/2. no on call pay, no BSN CCRN extra pay. Our night shift diff is 1.00. So just imagine how i feel.

Smile Current Pay Scale-Maine
As a ICU nurse with 2 years of experience. Here in Rural Maine we are currently being pain 19.32. Plus DOUBLETIME for all overtime picked up.. Picking up one shift can make the differnce in the paycheck and helps to get through the vacation crunch.

Default Pay scales...

As a new graduate RN, BSN working in the CCU, our base pay is 21 an hour for days with a four dollar night differential and almost 2 dollar weekend differential. Nurses are worth every penny that the hospital pays out...

Hey, I too, work in rural Maine and get double time for OT! Could it be we work at the same place or is this double time pay a Maine thing?

IN NC we start new grads at 17.00 / hr. (fayetteville). I have been there 5 years, now make 25.75 per hour. $1 for CCU, $2 for CVICU extra per hour, I do both. from 3-11 shift diff is $3.75 per hour, 11-7am is $4.25 per hour. Weekends all times are $4.oo per hour. We get double time on holidays plus a year end bonus based on profits (800.00 this year, everyone gets it). ICU's get 1,000.00 every six months bonus.

More inportant is a CEO and COO that are Nursing oriented and are making tremendous changes to retain nurses... My job satisfaction is 100%. We keep getting pay raises to keep us competitive and our anual raise is 0-5% but is increasing to 0-7%

You may have to start out low, but cost of living is low, my 170,000. house has $1,700.00 in taxes per year only. I came from NY where the same taxes would be close to $5,000. tax rate is 6.5%.

Love where i am and it is only getting better


FYI myrtle beach, looked at the facility and have a friend who works there.... There is a reason a hospital is FORCED to pay an 8,000.00 sign on bonus... think about that... the grass is not always greener... there is desperation behind the dollar amount.

Southern New Jersey Hospital. Night shift gets $30 dollars an hour base pay with $4 differential. Medical benefits are paid for 100% by employer. Usually, a $150 bonus for twelve hours of overtime, plus time and a half. The usual tuition reimbursement etc. What are the catches? None! Hospital makes a good profit. However, these rates do not reflect the going rates for most Southern New Jersey hospitals.

Piggy Bank El Paso pay
I was reading some of the posts as I've thought about changing fields. I'm currently working LTC (great hours) and make $21/hr. Switching to Hopice at $23.75 with mileage at 31.5 cents. Was working in Alabama at $14/hour. Cost of living in El Paso is very low with new, nice houses under $100,000. Property taxes are high, though.
