Acute Pay

Published

Hi All!

I am two months into my training as an Acute Dialysis Nurse, and I am loving it so far!

I am curious though what the average pay would be for a nurse with years of ICU/CCU experience, but NO dialysis experience in Acutes?

I am working in the midwest area too.

I really have no idea what the salary range is. Please enlighten me so I have an idea of what a fair wage should be for a new dialysis nurse. THANKS!

Can anyone help me out with this? I have tried searching on my own, and can't find any answers to my specific questions.

Specializes in jack of all trades.

The company I am with contracts for acutes at several hospitals and pay by the treatment. I was told when I initially was going to acutes it paid $125.00 per treatment,not including on-call pay etc. I'm not sure how it breaks down for other services. I'm in Florida though which may be very different pay scales. I ended up literally drafted into a managerial position in chronics (ughhh) instead. I'm really miss being in a critical care enviroment as been in it for over 28 years with only the last 2 in chronic dialysis. I'll probably end up moving on to acutes or back in critical care. I can handle the work it's all the whining not only from pts but staff. I wish I could give you more info.:wink2:

Thanks you, it does help. At least it gives me somewhat of an idea.

I'm still hopeful more people will respond with hourly rates, diffs, on call pay, etc.

I'm sorry about your "drafting" to your new position, and I do hope it works out for you. It seems every time life made a change for me, it was for the best but I just didn't know it at that time. May this be one of those for you! :wink2:
