Hi, I'm new to allnurses.com, it's terrific. I'm moving to San Francisco soon, have seen recruitment ads for Kaiser and Sutter Home Hospice RN's. Can anyone tell me what a Full Time RN would make per hour? I have 10 yrs. RN/NP experience.

I worked for a VNS service in my city for about 6 mos in the acute care division. We were expected to discharge patients pretty quickly. I guess I shouldn't have been surprised by this, but I was. I'm hoping hospice is different and that there isn't the same pressure to severely limit the number of visits. I assume that the hospice patient's case is left open for the time they have remaining. Am I right? ty

New grad hospital staff nurses in the area get about $42 per hour. Not sure about the specifics with hospice, but it should be something similar.

Then just factor in the experience.
