Assisted living-RN. manager ?

I'm checking out this type of a position at an assisted living. Was wondering what the pay range may be ? Any thoughts ? Thanks...

It depends on your location, the company/facility, and the level of responsibility you would carry. My experience as a DON in assisted living was almost as much about being an assistant administrator as a nurse; my salary was commensurate with the expectations, but it was also 24/7 responsibility---I was on-call for a solid three years, which meant my time 'off' was never totally my own. Plus, these positions are almost always salaried, which often means putting in 60 hours a week and getting paid for 40. But if you're prepared for that, it's not a bad way to make a living, especially if you get in with a good company.

Good luck to you!

Thank you and God bless your two sons. This facility is owned by HCR manor care and it has 60 beds. It's in CT.

One's a daughter; the other's a son.:wink2:

My last job, with a large corporation, started @ $52,000/year, which is pretty decent by Oregon standards. I would imagine they pay considerably more in your part of the country.

Thanks...you're terrific ! And a daughter and son....Heah, VivalasViejas, Would you look at my job dilemma in the General discussion arena--"I need a job!" ?? If you get a chance ? I love your advice in these posts and I really like that " There's so much about tommorrow" poem. You're the bomb !
