Specializes in Psych, LTC/SNF, Rehab, Corrections.

-- SNF Rehab dble w/end. $19/hr . $2 shift diff.

-- Urgent Care Clinic Floater. $17/hr

The urgent care pay isnt surprising. I dont mind because im learning a valuable skillset thats going to make me a more proficient nurse.

That doesnt change the fact, however, that nursing in S. Florida sucks. Recently relocated here.

Not only do the bulk of these LTC/SNF/REHAB facilities not use med aides but they expect you to "do it all" (pass meds, accucheck, woundcare) for an avg of 25-32 residents WHILE manning the phone, nurse's station and constant interruptions from family members WHILE passing meds/narcs...for $17/hr.

...and Im on the PSYCH wing?!

You can't be chained to the cart AND manage medical AND psych issues (wandering, yelling, screaming, fighting, illusions, delusions, hallucinations, psychosis)...effectively.

I BARELY keep my dementia/ALZ people off the floor (from falls)...

I'm getting ready to go back to PRN.

I tend to pull a lot of PRNs and I did that when i got here, too. For this reason, I didnt notice how poorly nurses were being paid as I (PRN LPN) made 21/hr base plus $2 weekend shift and/or $3 eve shift diff or $2 shift diff nights.

But when I settled into a w/end double FT position, boy - do i see it: $17/hr for LVNs. $20/hr for RNs.

Are you kidding me? We do a lot of work.

What nurse (beyond a new grad) wld do that kind of work for $17/hr or $20hr? The A/DON and scheduler always seem genuinely shocked that FTers wont pull shift, though.

They do pay well in the hospital, though. Ive been asking around. I think Tampa Community Hospital pays ER nurses $26 or $27 (not new grad pay, I dont think) plus $2 or 3 per cert...and who knows however much for shift diff.

In preparation for September (Fast Track ADN Program) I recently accepted a full time spot. Pay is 25.00 hrly with 1.00 shift differential. It's a hit from my registry/agency work in straight dollars where I was making 28-33.00 hrly. But it's actually better overall considering the benefits package.

The plus side truly lies in the fact that they cannot keep nursing staff though. One can pick up as much overtime as desired. That's the worthwhile part for me this summer. Great opportunity to make extra cash for the unexpected and inevitable.
