grouchy,
through word of mouth
the company (First Responders) is owned by an RN...he had been the director of several ERs in Phx...He convinced Colangelo and his people that RNs and EMTs would do a better job then the paramedic company that had held the contract for years...
we have a 'medical director' but he's never there (except for the World Series! LOL)...we have standing ACLS protocol orders, have had 2 codes (0 for 2 unfortunately)...have done an occasional IV hydration, some narcan, and a lot of 'hit by foul balls or hockey pucks'
a great (almost non-nursing) gig!
It's sad that a nurse with one year of experience can make more money than one with 15 years. I have ACLS, TNCC and PALS and an RN with a year's worth of experience makes more than I do. I have no idea about the cost of living in Minneapolis. Could be that's the reason, still pisses me off though.
I worked at a large area hospital for 5 years, doing Med-surg nursing. I have a BSN and i was only making 17.99 an hour.
I left there and took a Staff Development Position in a Long Term Care and Nursing Rehab facility. I'm making $20.00/hr and i'm salary. 9-5 Monday through Friday. Holidays and weekends off. I dont understand why any nurse would want to work weekends and holidays and get paied less or the same. I should of changed jobs long ago.
I am an RN with only 18 months experience.
I work at a children's hospital in the city where I did my first 10 months in inpt oncology and since have been in outpatient setting in primary care. My hourly rate is $20.72. That's for both inpt and outpt. For this area this rate is average for inpt and for my level of experience. However, if I left the hospital and worked for a suburban practice I would make much less.
