Hogan4736,

How did you get that cool first-aid job????

hogan4736, BSN, RN · Dec 30, 2001

grouchy,

through word of mouth

the company (First Responders) is owned by an RN...he had been the director of several ERs in Phx...He convinced Colangelo and his people that RNs and EMTs would do a better job then the paramedic company that had held the contract for years...

we have a 'medical director' but he's never there (except for the World Series! LOL)...we have standing ACLS protocol orders, have had 2 codes (0 for 2 unfortunately)...have done an occasional IV hydration, some narcan, and a lot of 'hit by foul balls or hockey pucks'

a great (almost non-nursing) gig!

It's sad that a nurse with one year of experience can make more money than one with 15 years. I have ACLS, TNCC and PALS and an RN with a year's worth of experience makes more than I do. I have no idea about the cost of living in Minneapolis. Could be that's the reason, still pisses me off though.

sorry just taken what their givin

Cost of living is not that bad but the taxes suck

I worked at a large area hospital for 5 years, doing Med-surg nursing. I have a BSN and i was only making 17.99 an hour.

I left there and took a Staff Development Position in a Long Term Care and Nursing Rehab facility. I'm making $20.00/hr and i'm salary. 9-5 Monday through Friday. Holidays and weekends off. I dont understand why any nurse would want to work weekends and holidays and get paied less or the same. I should of changed jobs long ago. :eek:

hogan4736, BSN, RN · Jan 7, 2002

I don't understand why anyone would want to work 20 days/month...I work 12 days a month (3-13s...every W,Th,F.)

NursiePooh · Jan 7, 2002

yes this is true, but 12 hour days are really rough. I didnt think i would like 5 8 hour days....but i am really liking the weekends off.

Not to mention the 9 paied holidays:D

PhantomRN · Jan 7, 2002

What I would like is 4 -10's or 4 -9's. I currently work 3 -12's. I like only having to work 3 days a week, but unless you can get them scheduled back to back it is really a waste.

I am an RN with only 18 months experience.

I work at a children's hospital in the city where I did my first 10 months in inpt oncology and since have been in outpatient setting in primary care. My hourly rate is $20.72. That's for both inpt and outpt. For this area this rate is average for inpt and for my level of experience. However, if I left the hospital and worked for a suburban practice I would make much less.
