I am just curious about what the average pay is for an office or clinic RN? I am currently working on a busy med-surg floor and make a decent wage. I am not happy at my current job and am looking into finding something new. I realize that clinic nurses don't make as much as hospitals nurses, but I am just curious if it is a big difference. It may be worth it to me to take a slight pay cut to be happier at my job. Thanks.

Hi. I was wondering what experiences any of you have had at clinic jobs. I have been in med/surg for over 16 years and looking to get out of the crazy hospital environment. Some days I love it but it's definitely taking its toll on me. Plus I'm back in school for my BSN and I'm thinking this may be a little less stressful. I interviewed for an immediate care clinic position in the same hospital system I work in. The best thing is it would be a lateral move-same pay.
The only thing that I wasn't sure about was the staffing/work environment. It is much smaller compared to the hospital. Only 1 RN, a tech, Rad tech, secretary and doctor. I've never had any problems getting along with my co-workers, but it's such a smaller group of people compared to the hospital.
Does anyone have any opinions about this? Would this be a good transition from the high stress at the hospital?
