Hi I am an RN working in ltc in Pinellas County. I am originally from NJ. I was wondering what the salary for RNs in ltc is currently. Also, when I came down here I was told that ltc paid better than hospital nursing. Any other RNs in ltc from Pinellas?

I'm in Duval County (Northeast of you) and the pay here for nurses in the hospital(s) is about $21-25/hr. Plus shift diff and weekend pay. I'm not sure what the LTF's pay here. I started to apply for one when they said that they start RNs out at $20 and only $1.50 for shift diff and weekend pay. HUGE cut for me and declined the poisition.
Hope that helps.

From what I understand, RN's do better with pay at the hospitals and LPN's do better in LTC. (But I could be wrong as I'm not a working nurse yet.)
