LPN-New York- HHC Specialty Hospital and Long term care facility- 21/hour +benefits. New grad, 2014, started working January 2015

24 -26 new grad NJ agency

FYI NYC is one of the highest Cost of living in the Country.

$20/hour in LTC/SNF in Ohio.....$18.50 in occ health clinic.

That pay rate is pitiful. $20/hr and under is just despicable! I can't believe they can justify to set the pay so low for what we do. Where I live bus drivers make more money than that (and more money than me, actually) and it's criminally actionable to assault a bus driver. A patient hits a nurse and no one bats an eyelash. I'm sorry I'm not sorry, that pay-rate is NOT ok.

I make $28/hr as a nurse... But there is a catch! My employer (a large acute care hospital) only hires newer nurses/new grads as "casual/per diem" with no health or insurance benefits/ no benefits of any kind, and no guarantee of if/when you will get work. Nice, eh?! Most places nowadays do not hire permanent full-time with benefits. If you can find a full-time nursing position where I live, it's usually contract without benefits and is in the most undesirable/intolerable clinical settings.

I wish I knew nursing/ life was going to be like this...

I just accepted a job in LTC/rehab.. 19/hr... I'm a new grad with now experience in space coast, florida

North Iowa. Work LTC.

Base pay is $16.

Shift differential for 2nd shift is 20 cents an hour

Sundays, add a dollar an hour

Call in pay gets you $3 more an hour, or double pay depending on circumstances

Work holidays and it is also double

Since I posted this, we have been given and across the board raise. My base pay is now $17

That's crazy

NYC $25/hr

Rural Illinois, 15.50 in LTC, no experience.

Man, I have family in DFW area... sounds like I need to make a move. I was just looking online at jobs down there last weekend...

I'm Canadian and in Ontario we're called Registered Practical Nurses...

I make $15 an hour working at a retirement home.

Nursing home nurses make $22-26 an hour usually.

Hospital nurses make $28ish but they don't want new graduates and it's super difficult to get into a hospital.
