Your ignorance is truly astounding.

Your grammer horiffic.

I for one am glad that I do not have your 'type" around me anymore. It is one reason I left the LPN-RPN "role" behind and became a RN. The hopsital I work in only employs RN's. It is one of the reasons I am there.

True ignorance is scarey. Your type - which sounds like a mixture of ignorance and a inferiority complex is really scarey.

:( I am also leaving the LPN role behind, but not for the same reasons that you stated here. I am a very competent nurse and want to further my career. I believe that I can serve my community better as an RN. You were right when you say true ignorance is scary, but there are as many RN's who fit that description as LPN's. You proved it when you made the statement that you changed positions to keep from working with them. Every member of the health care team is important... from CNA's on up. Get a grip! In this business everyone is expendable, and being that you claim to be more educated as an RN....well, act like it!

Calling all nurses! Just a quick poll.Please tell us your:

1.Position held.(RN,LVN/LPN)

2.Years as a nurse.

3.Area of work.(M/S,ER,LTC,etc.)

4.Current hourly wage.

This should be interesting. Thanks.

I was a staff RN in MICU/SICU with 4 years experience making 17.00 an hour. I became a travel nurse and I now make 31.00 an hour and do it right by home. My old Mgr. stated that they could not compete with these wages but I explained to her that she was competing with these wages because I was working right along side travel nurses making those wages and receiving benefits. If they would pay staff more we would not flee.

I have been an RN for 8 years and work as a circulating nurse in the operating room of an ambulatory surgery center in middle Tennessee for $19.30/hr. I have a verbal contract to work 4 eight-hour days a week with benefits, but the actual time worked varies from 4 to 12 hrs/day. depending on the surgical schedule and whether we have adequate staffing on a given day. For the sake of efficiency (translation--money), we are minimally staffed, and we all know that if anyone calls in sick, the rest of us are going to have a long, stressful, peanut-butter & cracker day (no breaks or lunch). Yes, we have "PRN" people, but the majority of them can only work on certain days. That means we usually have to make do with who we have. I love my job, but would prefer to work regular hours! I don't have the answers as to how, but it seems it could be managed better.

I work in Minneapolis, MN as an RN clinical Coordinator. I am responsible for the MDS' Care Plans and Supervision af two units in our Nursing home with a total of 76 residents. I make 24.75/hr but am a salaried employee so it usually works out to less.:rolleyes:

1. RN

2. almost 10 years

3. ER

4. "Baylor" work 24 hrs WEEKENDS ONLY and get paid for 36 hrs with Benefits. which is about $42.00/hr

any OT is double time---they are very desparate!

I have just been offered work in Fl. Rate is $16.25/hr. Is this the average for RN in Fl.

I work for a very small community hopital on a five-bed ICU/CCU. I make about $52,000.00/year (working the 12-hour night shift). With overtime, I'll probably make close to $54,000.00 this year. The most money I've ever earned for in my life (for one job).

It's not really the pay that is dissatisfying, it is the lack of appreciation and the overload of responsibilities on such a few nurses.
