How much are you making in 2016. What was your starting pay out if school?
Where are you working?
Las Vegas
Operating Room RN with 7 years experience.
HCA Hospital. Unionized.
Base Pay: $43
Call Pay: Time and a half, plus $5 just sitting at home waiting. (This is where nurses in the OR make BANK)
2016 gross pay: $131,210
Net biweekly pay: $3,300 (normal) $4300 (some OT) $5500 (lots of OT, call pay)
COL: Mod to low. I pay a 2 bed 2 bath with 2 car garage apartment with 1300sqft for $900.
Ive worked in the ER, ICU, medsurg floor and opd, and i think the OR/Surgery department, especially if if you work in a busy trauma hospital is like a gold mine! Because primarily of call pay. Last 2 weeks i worked like 60 hours a week and yesterday got my biggest paycheck ever, $5870 in 2 weeks. Work hard play hard right lol.
happy holidays to everyone!
Apparently, I am in the wrong job.
Alabama, Specialty Clinic $13.31/hr
I work in a very busy specialty clinic. I have 2-3 hours OT every week and I am TOTALLY exhausted at the end of the day. I sit down only for lunch break which averages 20 mins-1 hour, depending on how the day is going. :)
I got a job offer the other day for $13 an hour. The lady actually said she didn't think I'd interview for the job, but that's all she can pay. She said its basically a triage job - giving some shots at a college. An easy peezy job. I can't afford that luxury, so I had to pass.
PS, there is no such think as an easy peezy job.
When I first started (I think it was 96 or 97) I made $10 an hour and thought i was making BANK!>
Upstate NY [Rochester, Buffalo area], 22yrs exp
LOL! Graduated in 94 started with $10.11 + E/N shift & weekend differential. ONLY accepted that low rate because I was offered my dream job in High Risk OB/GYN - L&D. After 1yr, I went in houseâ€, their per diem rate and made like $16-$18/hr with zero benefits, choosing what days/shifts I worked.
2001 LTC made $18-$22 working weekend contracts (3/12hr & or 2/16hr shifts) zero benefits. Can't remember how much Dialysis & Doctors office made. Nursing Agencies around 1999-2002 I made $20-$22 hr.
Became an Independent Contractor Medicaid Provider - Private Duty Nurse billing Medicaid directly...$22.66 for low tech, $25.93 high tech,
30% is added for the medically fragile child $33.71
Currently, I wouldn't accept less than $25 for Doctor/Medical Offices, or less than $35 for Hospital or LTC.
