Another Pay Question!

Published

If you can answer, anybody know the pay rate range for TN....specifically Nashville, Memphis, Knoxville, or even (smaller town) Greeneville??? I would appreciate the info.

Specializes in Float.

I ended up working in Memphis but only because I could do per diem. Jackson new grad rates are extremely competitive with Memphis now. I think it's 19.40/hr 3.50 nights, 2.00 weekends. I think staffing depends on the floor. There were some floors I was on (in school) with very good staffing, long term nurses, and excellent nurse to pt ratios. Ie on days they had 4-5 pts on tele (albeit they don't use monitor techs which still perplexes me) where i work now it's very frequently 6-7 on days, a number I'd like to see go down! But we do staff very well with supplementary staff, more so thank jackson.

I worked for "the big house" for 9 yrs. I live 70 miles north of Jackson, finally got smart and realized it wasn't going to get any better. Now I have crossed the state line, working in KY, making 6 dollars an hour more than I was. Even paying Ky taxes I am coming out better, not driving as far either.

I used to live in Jackson we moved to memphis over the summer... couldn't make me work at the main hospital in jackson. I hate having clinicals there. Miserable. Glad I only have 2 clinicals left. Also the pay here is not too bad, and including shift diff is really nice. and for those out there who have spouse's with perfect benefits that don't need benefits of their own.. really got it going on with the money!

In Jackson? If so, it's headed towards down town. off highland. They are doing a lot of construction. A LOT. They just increased pay there. They do have sign on bonuses. Hefty for night time full time sign on. (two year contract)
