NurseBettyBoop,
Noticed you are SE Pa, are you working in Phildelphia? A friend of mine is nursing super at a LTC facfility and she mentioned Phila nurses were doing ok. Some work three twelves and are up around 60K. They are commuting about 1 hr each way but seem to be ok with the drive.
If you are working in the Phila area, how is the hiring for fresh out of school nurses?
Just curious.

32 years experience, mostly ICU. Now work telemetry make $21.00/hr. Its almost getting to the point where it's hardly worth it to show up, especially after Uncle Sam gets his share.

Hmmm, our new graduate nurses $24.25 and then 15% for night shift differential. Where are you working in NJ if I can ask???? Of course, our hospital is going to start upcoming union/nurse contract negotiations soon and we know that we are now behind.

Something is really wrong when a nurse with 32y of experience, mostly ICU makes $21/h, and a new nurse with basically no experience makes almost $30/h.
Explain to me again why our experienced nurses get frustrated?!?

I'm teaching now at a votech in Texas...took quite a pay cut from the hospital but have always wanted to try teaching.
At the hospital as a 25 year nurse, my ending base salary was $24..add a buck for charge and another for certification and shift diffs when appicable....I was around $30/hr on nights with benes.
Now I'm down to $20/hr but I don't have the hospital stress. Ask me in a year if it's worth it or not....I'm still going through some withdrawls...hehe.
