hi!

1. what is your degree in? i have an adn degree, from '71; have additional 33 credits towards bs/physics, but never completed. have been a full time nurse since '71.

2. what state do you live in? california

3. what is your job title? currently: staff nurse, cath lab

4. how much do you make an hour? $53.50/hr; plus 'on call' (time and a half if called in); ot

5. how much do you make a year? last year i was on disability for part of the year, but the year before that i made over $128,000

6. what do you like about your job? patient teaching, using critical care skills, teamwork, learning something new most days, technical things i need to know

7. what don't you like about your job? being 'on call' has been tough at my age, some days you could be at work 16 hours or more; the stress; nurses not always respected by the medical staff; all the new changes come from cms, jacho, etc....that are ridiculous and unnecessary, but somehow will put money in someone's pocket; dealing with nurses on other units who show no pride or interest in their work, and don't want to put anything extra into their job!

All these numbers make me feel even more underpaid than I already do! Florida Staff BSN RN w/ almost 2 years exp making 20/hr (in a hospital). :-/ That would be one of the things I dislike about the job. With differentials, it goes up to about 25 :-/ I also dislike the politics. I love my co-workers and the occasional pt who makes me feel appreciated.

1. LVN

2. California

3. "LVN I" at Kaiser Permanente; I have been working for a year and a half

4. $23.76 plus $1.00/hour when working after 1800 and plus .55/hour for being bilingual

5. Made 44K last year working anywhere from 20-40+ hours per week (it really varied greatly from week to week)

6. Love the hour flexibility, fully paid benefits, we get a lot of sick hours, vacation time, AND even have "personal time off," 2 annual raises (one through our union and another through the company), double and a half time pay when working holidays (yes, that's DOUBLE AND A HALF), love that I can float from department to department, tuition reimbursement, late night/weekend shifts available which works perfect for me since I am currently in school obtaining my BSN, overtime opportunities (especially during flu season), co-workers are so helpful, and they offer a "new-grad RN program" which really coaches you and helps you transition into the RN world. Kaiser is the greatest company and I could never see myself working for anyone else, enough said.

7. I feel somewhat limited as to what I can and can't do. Kaiser really places a restraint as far as LVN's scope of practice goes, but in ways I can appreciate this because it places us at less of a liability risk. Also, I currently work at a big medical office (with sub-specialities and an Urgent Care) so there is a lot of "back office" work such as messages and picking up the phones so at times I feel as if I am more of a call center operator than a nurse. But still, can't complain too much because I LOVE my job!:heartbeat
