Boca Raton, Florida: $13.40/hour (day shift only)

If I were to work a night shift they would increase my hourly rate by $1.25 (I think! It may be $1.50, I'm not sure)

*My hospital offers a choice for full-time PCTs: You can start at a lower pay with full benefits, or a higher pay with NO benefits whatsoever. It's kind of a rip off I think..

To start with NO experience, it's $10.00 with benefits, or $13.00 with NO benefits. I chose the higher pay without benefits option... I had no previous hospital experience, but I had 2 years of home health experience so they agreed to start me at $13.40/hour with NO benefits, full time. For the area I live in, it's actually really decent. I make more than the other PCT's I know. Anywhere else here a PCT starts around $11-$12, but I don't know if there are benefits included with those salaries.
