How much is your pay?

Published

I'm just curious...

Salaries varies from state to state, as well as the years of experience, and the area of specialty, right? How much is your pay per month? :heartbeat :nurse: :heartbeat

I think I am the lowest paid RN. I haven't seen anyone paid less then me since I started reading this thread. I am a Chicago suburb, non-certified school nurse that makes $16.05 and hour plus health insurance. Six years school nurse experiance, toal RN experiance 31 years. I wish more school nurses would post.

Goodness! Isn't the cost of living up there pretty high? How can you only make $16.05 with 31 YEARS experience???? That's horrible. Please find another job to pay you what you're worth.

IMHO.... Working for $16.05 is a choice. School Nurses should be paid more .... but as long as the school districts can employee nurses for substandard wages..... they will. I do understand that most of the school nurses choose schedule over pay. It is a choice. I would not work for that amount of pay. At 17 years out my base is $32.00 with a 3% yearly bonus ( no call, no weekends, no nights ). I am a circulator in an outpatient surgery center. Having good hours and fair pay can be done. It is your choice. :heartbeat

I graduate next month (!) with my BSN, and I was hired to work on a telemetry/med-surg floor at a community hospital in Putnam County, NY (1 hr north of NYC).

Pay is $29.63/hr plus $2 eve differential plus $3.25 noc diff working three 12 hr shifts/week...

COL is less expensive here in Putnam than in NYC, for sure.

Yes, I do live in Ca. The median house price in my area (in our current market which is way lower than in years past) is about $500-650k (for a 50 year old fixer upper). However many hospitals in California where the median house price/cost of living is MUCH lower are raising their wages to match ours...

24.62 an hour, 1.25 shift differential and 1.25 an hour for charge pay. I have a year's experience as a nurse. I'm due for a step raise in the summer and I think the whole hospital gets one in July.

Makes me irate with my state when I see how much some are making here..it's not like my state has an exceptionally low cost of living.:madface:
