I've been a nurse for 15 years, started out as a ADN grad. Worked in NICU, PICU, & Trauma. Now I'm a Peds Nurse Practitioner and Supervisor of an Ambulatory Neurology Clinic in Northern Minnesota, where I make about 56K. Generally, I put in 45-55 hours per week. I see patients and do management stuff (kinda schizophrenic, really..LOL). After reading the postings here, I'm definitely thinking my ideas about accepting a traveling position after my kids have finished HS are right on, and the south is where to go! Y hablo espanol, tambien!

I'd thought I would respond with this. My best friend is a critical care nurse in Portland. Just yesterday, he gave me the breakdown of salaries:

a.) Resource pool within hospital = $40/hr (with 1 year of experience)

b.) VA pays $55.00/hr

c.) Get this. Agencies are paying $95/hr ($1,140 per 12 hour shift). (This is not a strike). I don't understand the vast difference in pay, other than the agency nurse may not be familiar with the hospital. I'm sure that they probally get the toughest assignments as well.

My girlfriend is at Texas Children's Hospital now on travel assignment. I'm going to have to tell her to stay put. I'm moving back home! (I'm grew up in Galveston).

Whatever you do, don't come to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. There are basically 2 companies to work for, OSF Inc. and Marquette General. Office LPN's average $9.00 per hour (starting wage), office RN's average around $11. OSF Inc. Hospital LPN's can make up to $13/hr. RN's around $17, and that's with mega years under your belt. I am an LPN with 5 years Otorhinolaryngology experience working in a private office and work under OSF, Inc. My wage is $9.64/hr. Benefits stink. Pay increase of 3% per year. BASED ON YOUR BEGINNING SALARY!!! The problem is that we have 2 colleges of nursing up here and we're flooded. We have 18 year olds fresh out of college living with mom and dad who will work for $8.50 an hour. That really kills an LPN with 3 kids to pay daycare for.
