Does Psy nursing pay more

does psych nursing pay more????????? NO, NO, NO.........

nooo ..used to work with a male charge nurse who has level 4 salary...dont do nothing except drink coffee

Where does he work????? I am lucky to get time to go to the BR, let alone get a cup of coffee !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We are non-stop at it at my psych hospital....................

Depends on where you work. At a for profit organization I made more money, but at the non-profit, I am making less, but have peace of mind that I am not going to lose my job because of some cut throat, insecure psycho Unit manager!

i like that...

Amen to that!!!

My base rate is higher than what I'd get at the local hospitals...but the hospitals offer higher shift differentials.

So depending on when I work, it could pay more than hospitals would

I'm making $18.75/hr. I was making $21.50/hr at a hospital. However, I get "Baylor Pay" which is 8 hours of pay per week extra. So that helps it even out.

In my place of work, new graduates get the same rate---regardless of the unit they work in.
