Acute dialysis nurses- let's talk money..(again)

[bella706]

This is a follow up to an old closed thread from a few years ago about pay rates for acute nurses, so I wanted to check in and see what the going rates are for acute dialysis nurses in this speciality these days.

It it seems like the big giants (davita/fresenious) have eaten up all the smaller hospital owned acute units in my area (NYC metro). I still work for a smaller privately contracted company, but we are loosing contracts with hospitals left and right due to hospital mergers, so I may have to jump ship and get a new job soon. I am curious what other nurses are making, especially in my region...

I'll go first...

NYC metro area

Paid $205/ patient

$40 extra if scheduled day of.

$30 extra if case started after 5pm

$40 extra for Sunday case

No pay for on call time unless called in, and then it's at above rates, but only on call every 10th day.

all cases are 1:1 (as all of our hospitals have gone away from treatment rooms in favor of bedside treatment for all)

please share!
