I would opt to keep them and detox them, you never know when someone will finally decide they have had enough and decide to stay clean or sober. I know it's not that likely but, you gotta give them that chance.

In Indianapolis a RN made 25 an hour and the LPN made 20 an hour. It was mainly staffed by LPN's and the RN's had a supervisory position. I was the second shift supervisor. I loved working in correction but I could not work second shift because of my children. I waited it out 7 months though but decided to leave because everyone loved there jobs and no one was thinking about leaving...I wanted a day shift position. TowannaG

I don't know where you work for CMS but I worked in Mo. for 10 years, made it to the level of administrator and still only made $56,000 a year. You work like dog and they treat their employees terrible.

Wow, that's a big range. In the Max I just left, the rates were between $24/hr. and $28-29/hr. base, depending on experience (in years) as a RN. But you have to add on geographical pay, harzardous duty, and differentials too. LPN's were/are in a different union and make about $14-16 hr.
