AZ question- educator salary?

Published

Again I am thinking of moving to AZ- Flagstaff to be exact. I have been to AZ a few times and love it.

I have three years critical care experience, one year critical care diploma, CNCC and I have 10 months to go before I finish by BSN.

If I wanted to leave the bedside and move into an educator's position ....can anyone please tell me what my salary would look like.....even an estimate??

( In northern AZ obviously......thanks again)

Thanks JMP

State jobs in Mohave county dont pay all that great, Probably around 20.00 an hour or 38 K per year. Cant be exact on the teaching part. I dont work for the state or in education, but I make 52 K a year. I guess it all depends on what you truely want to do.

my answer is 40 K if lucky. Nursing Educators are at the bottom of the food chain.

At the bottom of the food chain in AZ? Or everywhere in the US ?Certainly not here ( in Canada).

Who is at the top of the food chain- middle?

Thanks JMP

What are "middle" critical care nurses? I am not familiar with the term?

Thanks

It is for you to figure out. I am over this.

Just a question- I have not heard the term "middle" in relation to critical care......I have heard of middle managers- sorry if I phrased it in a way that you found unacceptable. JMP

So sorry anyone from AZ answered so strangely...never heard of 'middle' anything nursing...perhaps the poster meant "intermediate" or was refering to 'step-down' care?

Flagstaff is gorgeous and as far as educators, it really depends on the facility and what the job entails. Many institutes regard bedside nursing higher than any other type of nursing - not all, but most. The good thing is that some allow you to do floor nursing as well which helps not only with finances, but also with keeping in touch with what your facility really needs. They pay differently when you are on the floor. Please feel free to contact me personally for anything else you might be interested in knowing and ignore those who might make you feel unwelcome in Arizona...we're a pretty nice bunch, honest -

As you can see from the posts, the posters were refering to nurses at the top, middle and bottom of the food chain.

Also, the poster you are refering to is in FLA, not AZ.

Silly me for not looking at where a poster was from. So sorry if I offended. Personally love Arizona. 'Middle nursing' is still not a term I am familiar with. If the reference was to payscale, I beg whomever's pardon for misunderstanding. The average hospital in the metropolitan area starts in the $19 range. Flagstaff is not metropolitan, but does qualify as a Level one if I am not mistaken and the rates are probably competitive for AZ. I have the name of a nurse in the human resource area who would be more than happy to help find a wage in Flagstaff, if you are interested. I am new to this board, but gather from my brief stint here that you can figure out how to e-mail me personally.

Again - let me say, hey, AZ is a great place to nurse. There is a lot to see, do, learn here.

Best to you,

Dede

I will explain it again.

The poster was refering to nurses at the top, middle and bottom of the food chain. That's where the word middle came in.
