It is not fishy, I truely do make that much per year, here is how it breaks down:
charge nurse pay: 3.00/hr
shift diff (nites) 6.50/hr
hourly rate 35.75/hr
total _______
45.25/hr x 40hrs weeks=approx 91k a year, I work very little overtime and make 1000 more in incidental pay.

I have 15 years experience, I work in a specialty area of pedi...neuro and at a major pedi hospital and negotiated for my rate, I also get 2 raises a year here average 6% they are across the board raises. The hospital has a large budget and a generous benifit plan. I personally know of some nurses that make well into 120-150k a year with all the overtime they want to eat. I would be more than happy to prove this to any nurse that cares to know....and all this at a NON-UNION hospital. hell I know nurses aides that are doing 16/hr here.

There is money out there in nursing...you just have to look for it and be ready to demand it. Also the average pt load is only 4-5 pts/nite....that is the part that sounds unbelievable...LOL

You've just made my day! It's been my dream for several years to work at Texas Children's Hospital. I take my son there a couple times a year for evaluations on his brachial plexus birth injury. I've always been so very impressed with how pleasant and cheerful the staff always is. Now I know why! LOL Hey, come to think of it, as a peds nurse in neuro, you may have cared for my son after his nerve graft surgery! Well, I'm gonna go pack my bags now, $91k a year has convinced me!

1.BSN

2. Three years in July

3. OB/GYN/NSY

4. 20.16/hr straight 12 hr pay; 1.00 xtra for charge, about 9.00 xtra dollars for each night shift; However, our contract is up May 31st, and with the severe shortage here it is assumed we will get the 30% (yes, 30%) pay increase we are asking for, and 10-15% next year and the next. There is talk to eliminate the incentive bonus we currently get for working extra ($50-60.00 per 4 hrs) and giving us a straight $100.00 for EVERY shift worked. Keep an eye on the Twin Cities!!
