Iowa - RN Pay

my wife is makin $37.50/hr nightshift w/ full benefits here in NJ.

so expensive to live here though its nasty.

Iowa has a low cost of living though...


In NJ, you make much more...but you won't pocket as much at all, especially if you have insurance in there.

Extra money spent on gas, sitting in traffic, tolls, highest taxes in nation, etc.

FYI- Mercy in Des Moines says they pay $20.20 before education and experience are factored in. Anymore details, you have to apply.

My wife is working full time at Mercy now. 12 years experience net her just under $27/hr. Yuck. I guess they give you a dollar for every 2.
