CNL vs APRN?

[Farawyn]

I am reading up on this and I really don't see the difference. I am not being facetious. This is not for school, but for my own knowledge. Is anyone a CNL or an APRN that can help clarify? Link below:

Thank you!

Quite disturbing nursing is turning into a title factory.... With no defined boundaries... More like a homeless child trying to fit into many different homes.. Where did Nightingale go wrong?

Nightingale? Are you being figurative?

Look, we're not dealing with minutia, and unless you're beating the heck out of 200k/yr. you're not making more than we do.

BTW, that job posting was so verbose, my Lucky Charms got soggy while I read it.

Hey Buddy, I hate to burst your bubble, but there are RN's who make over $90 per hour on the left coast working at the bedside with an ADN. My friend is an ER nurse, and is one of them. She likes to say My hospital values my RN” as a tease to my having gone on to get my MSN.

Thanks for the laugh, I thought your Lucky Charms jab was funny.

Well, good for them, but they're at the bedside fetching juice and dealing with whatever atrocities happen to befall them. I'm behind my door, in my office with my own desk, my own frige, and my income is directly tied to how much I, independently, choose to work, and that doesn't include nights, weekends, holidays, or Fridays. I'd love to continue comparing apples to oranges with you. We have different jobs, and there's no other aspect of nursing, beyond what I do now, that I find the least bit appealing. I admire that you're happy leading the nurses in the standard nurse setting. Throughout graduate school, I often wished I could have found solace as a RN.

Hey, nobody likes soggy luckies, but fortunately the marshmallows never betray you.

I agree about hitting $200,000 without OT before I'm impressed. Cutting to the chase the salary forecast didn't offer anything of value with regard to CNL salaries especially as since the poster stated if CNLs are working as managers they aren't working as CNLs.

"Because a CNL is a relatively new nursing role, up-to-date statistics regarding CNL salary expectations are not readily available. However, the Bureau of Labor Statistics,Occupational Outlook Handbook 2010, reported that the median pay for medical and health service managers and healthcare executives was $84,270 per year in 2010. The top 10 percent of earners earned an average of $144,880."

So if this were a Mon-Fri day shift with no OT, holidays or weekends I would definitely be impressed but I'm doubtful this is the case. She is mighty impressive however because as a RN I would have loved to make $180,000 a year.

I am going on record, right here, right now, and will put my nursing license on the line on my honor: My friend has an ADN, works day shift in the ER, DOES NOT WORK OVERTIME, at the bedside, and makes over 90 dollars every single hour straight time.

I am going to assume that you are merely incredulous that this amount of money is the case, instead of assuming that you are calling me a liar.

The only thing left in this thread is to invoke Godwin's law. I am going to bow out before this thread enters that realm.

Very cool and you are correct in that I'm just incredulous that a ADN can make that much money for straight time or that you didn't add that she was working overnights, OT, weekends and holidays.

I had to google this and actually find the entire premise and that you inserted it here a bit offensive:

West Coast? Geez, she'd have to make around 270/hr for cost of living equivalency. What do nurses normally make there?
