Pay Rates??

Specialties Geriatric

Published

Tomorrow I start orientation at a local nursing home. I live in North Carolina and I'm a new grad with no experience. We will be discussing pay rates and I have no clue what the going rate for an RN in the nursing home is. If anyone has any knowledge on this please help me! I don't want to go in and get low balled because I don't know any better. I have a friend who said that RNs get paid more in the nursing home setting than in the hospital. I find this hard to believe, but I'm just trying to get an idea. Thanks!

Me too. Do you have any idea what the New Grad pay is at Novant?

Novant pays slightly more than Carolina Healthcare. CHS starts out at 19.65 per hour. I think 20.19 for Novant. This is the last rates I heard of for new grads. However I work in LTC so the pay is a little more than the hospital.

Thanks. How do you like LTC?

I work for a CCRC so I don't receive any outside admissions. Therefore, I have a pretty sweet set up. And our LTC unit maxes out at 24. Its also a private pay facility so charting is at a minimum.
