Dear Dplear,
Now I know why I have been considering moving to the US from Canada to work. I just might have to keep your hospital on my list.

PSYCH-Adolescent unit, & Chemical Dependence
South Florida-
I'm in LPN-RN transition program I can't wait to graduate!
Great sign-on bonuses for RN's-$2000-10,000 depends on specialty.
The $$$ is in California, that's where I'm originally from. Base is $28-$35, mad sign on bonuses.
My friend works as a staff RN and does home health Per Diem on the side, she made $300,000 last year! Sick!She made more $ than her engineer husband! I know cost of living is high as well.
My other friend is a new grad, works perdiem , takes home $5000 a month after taxes.
Florida doesn't pay as much but the cost of living is a whole lot cheaper, 6% tax, no state tax, houses are pretty cheap! I live in South Florida mind you. We bought a 2000 sq. ft 3 brm, 2.5 bath home with a garage, brand spanking new for 150,000 with all the upgrades, diagonal set terra-cotta 18by18 tile, pavers, not to mention the sunny weather all year long! The awesome beaches, and major attractions!
If you're a professional like us nurses there are jobs out here!

If i had $1 for every time i had to cover a LPN's butt for lack of knowledge or sheer incompitance i could retire! Let me ask you this, when a patient is going bad, do run and get another LPN or an RN?

I can't tell you how true your words are. What kind of facts are those? I have worked with some truly exceptional nurses, rn's and lpn's, and the only nurses I don't want to work with are those like the one who came up with those "Facts". Talk about low self-esteem issues.

$62,000 w/ shift diff, OT and occassional charge differential. We are a unionized hospital. I just change to a .8 position, in a RHB unit, so will not get paid the differential for vacation time, etc, that I would have gotten at a FT position, and there is much less OT in this unit (but I can almost always go the the bathroom within 20 minutes of needing to go, I often acually get to eat dinner, I am usually only responsible for 8-9 patients instead of 16). So I make less $, but I live longer, and can actually occassionally hold a patient's hand when they really need it. I graduated nursing school at the age of 52, and I knew what I was getting into - I've working in this hospital for 30 yrs, tho not in a clinical capacity. I have a BA in English and an MBA and I get more personal satisfaction out of my Associate's in Nursing!
