AZ-Phoenix area pay

Specializes in Cardiac.

I am an experienced RN (30yrs).  I am moving to AZ, in the next 1-2 yrs. I am wondering about pay for an RN with my experience. My 30 yr experience is in the hospital as a Stepdown (with ventilators) unit. I also did some work in the Interventional radiology dept, Gi lab, HH, but that was 20 yrs ago.  I am more looking for a clinic job, but I am OK with another stepdown unit too.

Specializes in ICU. PACU..

Hi,

BSN here with 27 yrs experience, mostly in ICU, more recently PACU.  Earning $55/hour base pay now which is the highest in the Valley for that longevity/experience in my understanding.  Would be proportionately less in a clinic setting.

Thanks. Are you in a Union?  My pay is $65/hr at a Union teaching hospital in Chicago, with 30 yrs. BSN. I work Step-down. And with our contract, if I work at our clinic, or anywhere else in our hospital system, I'd get the same pay. The contract is based on years of experience.

The pay is horrible out here and the cost of living is not that much cheaper.
