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 :heartbeat
wow, I am DEFINITELY the lowest paid nurse on this thread so far. My base pay is 18.03. Thats with 3 years experience as RN. This doesnt count my 2.00/hr shift diff for working nights and 1.00/hr for weekends. But I get 8 weeks paid vacations a year...which is nice. Im switching to another job soon that is a Baylor plan that pays only .50 more per hour, but I get paid for 3 and work only 2. So it averages out to be more total. I live in Kentucky.
Wow 8 weeks paid vacation?? What hospital is this? I work at a Boston hospital making 31.44/hr-almost 1.5 years experience- permanent nights.
Western NC, 15 years exp. Base pay is $18.83/hour, plus 50 cents for CCRN and $1 for night diff. The top of the nsg pay scale at my hospital is $23.85 right now for more than 25 years experience, the bottom (new grad) is $16.25 (or thereabouts). We are not premitted to have any OT. They will pay you for it if you end up with it, as per the law, but then you get fired, so not a good idea, lol,
I was making $36/hour 8 years ago in AnnArbor MI, so it is definately regional. The average income for a family of four where I live is under 25K a year, so by those standards, nurses are making gazillions!
San Diego - 20+ yrs experience, but only 10 count in salary configuration. My hospital is a union (Calif Nurses Assn) hospital.
My hrly rate just went to 42.28 from 39.89 with new contract. New grads were making about 30.00 and now have a 6% increase. My per diem job pays 40.11/hr. Cost of living here is - prohibitive. Regular gas is 3.60 a gallon.
