Dialysis staff nurse salary in US

Published

Hello,

I just want to ask if anyone here knows the salary or an average salary of a dialysis staff nurse in New York or in any other state in US? Thanks. :)

Quit a for-profit dialysis co last December (not one of the Big Two) was making $35./hr with 10 years experience. Just took a job with a non-profit at $29./hr. This is in the SouthWest.

I started with no experience at $27 for one of the big 2. I work for a smaller co in a rural area 1hr from the nearest hospital now. They were having trouble getting a full time RN because it's out in Timbuktu. Luckily I have lived here all my life. I started at this clinic @ 32.50. I've worked here 2 1/2 yrs and make $36.25 now. I looked into a career change and talked to my manager as a friend not a boss. She went to her supervisor and asked for $2 more an hr to keep me. That's why the almost $4 increase in only 2yrs. I am in a 24 chair MWF clinic and it's just me and the manager As the only nurses so I have a lot of responsibility. (I'm in east tx)

I wouldn't start at less than $27

Thanks for the info, loveyourkidneys. I've been interested in dialysis for a couple years. I've wondered about the weekly hours. I'm fine with long hours- personally I prefer long hours and less days a week.

I make $30/hr in Portland, OR. Most start at $28/hr. The cost of living here is increasing by the day.

Average hospital RNs make $37 to start, experienced is about $44/hr.

The company I work for just took away some differentials that made me feel better about the low wages.
