For The Commuter....

The Commuter,

I am addressing this question to you specifically because I know you know the Fort Worth area. I am moving that way in June and am interested in nursing homes specifically for the 8 hour shifts. What is the pay like for RN's? Where are some good NH or rehabs to work per diem in? Are you working double shifts in a hospital, because that may be an option for me. Thanks in advance for any info you can give me.

This question is for ANYONE at this point.

Thanks, Shan

You could try sending her a private message.

I can't help you other than that - I'm in California.

Sorry. . .I didn't see this post much earlier. Since I now spend half of my time in Oklahoma (away from computers), some posts skip my attention.

Based on my experiences, RNs who work at Fort Worth-area nursing homes will earn between $23 and $30 hourly, with the average being about $25 or $26 per hour.

I currently work 16-hour weekend double shifts at a nursing home in downtown Fort Worth, which enables me to have Monday through Friday off to attend school full-time.

Send me a PM if you want specific names of good places to work. Or, since this thread is old, maybe you've already settled into a place.
