My last job $24.21/hr. Teaching hospital/trauma center. 27 years as an RN. 22 years at the last place.

With overtime and differentials I made about $55k in 10 months.

My current "job" I make ZERO. You see I had something happen that just took my career away. I hurt my back. I did all the right things. I used great body mechanics, I had help, but all the same I hurt my back.

I had been in the same job for two decades. I found myself a Persona Non Grata with the hospital. Nope they didn't want an injured nurse. They even fought the WC claim.

So, I'd be willing to bet I win the prize for the LOWEST rate of PAY.

Hmmmm? :confused:

Acol29, not to be sarcastic but you must lead a very sheltered existance. I know of many who do this just for the money....I will never condem anyone for doing this for the money, because after all money does make the world go around. Why not go for as much money as you can? It does not make you any worse of a nurse if that is yoir motivator. In fact I would say that might make you sometimes a better nurse, because if you are not good enough they will get rid of you. I have seen it happen many times.:)

Area of work depends on Contract
Pay depends on contract, from $18-25/hr plus fully furnished private housing, and utilities paid with Benefits, and starting, and completion bonuses.
Apartment now is 2/2 with washer dryer, microwave, TV/VCR. Some with cable, phone, cooking utensils, and even maid service on one contract. But would give it all up for a great fulltime position with excellent benefits, and adequate staffing.

I work in a fairly large Skilled Nursing Home as a Charge/Medication nurse (LPN) in Northern NY.

We recently went from an 8 hour shift to a 7.5 shift

and rate of pay was "adjusted" to compensate for reduced hours. So now I make $11.59/hr. Not much to choose from here. So I pick up a private duty case in my free time on occasion. And I make from $12 to $24/ hour only thing is no benifits.

I've been in nursing for 15 years. Have experience in two different states. And several different areas.
