1. RN salary-Boston

   vonjo27 replied to starik1978's topic in Massachusetts

   Staff and travelers do the same work. Occasionally you'll hear stories of travelers being treated unfairly, but it's unlikely. Salaries for permanent staff in Northern California are on average higher than travelers. Kaiser, for example, pays its ben...

2. RN salary-Boston

   vonjo27 replied to starik1978's topic in Massachusetts

   Not true at all. Last year I worked back to back 16hr shifts (4-5/week) in SF and made a killing. 36k-40k/ month. It's not just OT (1.5 after 8hr, 2.0 after 12hr), but also working consecutive weekends. If I work a weekend day that's not mine, even i...

3. RN pay in Port Charlotte/ SW Florida??

   vonjo27 replied to Nursy Nurse's topic in General Nursing

   God I hope that's not accurate. I'm moving from California to SW Florida in a couple of months. I know I won't make anywhere near the same money as I do out here, but I was hoping to make closer to $40/hr. I'll be keeping my job out here in the mean...

4. New Grad RN Salary Sacramento, CA

   vonjo27 replied to NewRNSacramento's topic in New Nurse

   You'll never make more as a nurse than you will in NorCal. Dignity doesn't pay quite as well as Kaiser or Sutter, but you'll still be starting out at $50+/hr, probably more. Sutter starts at $60ish for newer nurses (I make about $80 there now per die...

5. US nurse Just relocated to the UK

   vonjo27 replied to sarena33's topic in International

   I'm sure you've been asked 100 times, but how in the world did you get the proper papers to make the move? Are you married to a British citizen? Short of that, I've been told it's practically impossible. Any I'm currently a nursing student here in...

   @ nbryant18 -I called the office and asked about printing the manual. ------------ said you could bring a laptop, but doesn't know if any outlets are available. The orientation is from 8-1pm- I might just print it out.

   Adia- I just checked out AV Hosipital- looks like fun! I didn't know it even existed- I thought we did everything at Palmdale Medical Center. 7/70 for males is still above average. Hey Leanna- I'm dreading the commute too! But at least we miss t...

    To everyone else- are there any students coming from outside Antelope Valley? I'll be driving from Sherman Oaks

11. I got into Antelope Valley College!

    vonjo27 replied to Keekeenursie's topic in California

    Thanks for the advice!!! 10 out of 70 is still sad, but I was actually expecting the number to higher. I plan on being one of the lucky 60 that pushes through! Another question- at what point do students start interacting with patients? Where are ...

    Congratulations Adia!! Good luck in the field!! What was you're overall experience like? What did you find to be the most difficult/easiest about the program? Were there a lot of drop-outs? Any advice for us newbies would be greatly appreciated!!
