How much do you work

Based on the "nurse : patient ratio" thread I would like to know how much other nurses work? how many hours a week? And if you would like to share the information... for how much?

Personally I have an average of 35,5 hours a week, and 2 or 3 extra shifts per month.

That earns me about 51200 US dollars a year - 1 dollar = 6 Kroner, gives me 310000 kroner a year

I dont know how much an average nurse salery is in the US, but I have heard you do a lot better than that...

Hi,

I am from Europe also - southeast Europe - and your question is very interesting. Must say that your salary is SF movie to me and ICU nurses in my country. Just like Star wars sentence - " galaksy far, far away..." Maybe you are princese Leia or unknow Skywalker! Sorry, sorry, joke.:chuckle

I have an average of 40 - 50 h per week, sometimes over 50h. My salary is about 800 $ per month or 10000 $ a year maximum. Of course, we works with swans, picco, iabp, ventilators and other usual ICU equipment. :uhoh3: Unbeliveble, isn`t it! But, that´s our reality. :crying2:

So if your hospital want a few skilled ICU nurse, just call!! We are ready for lightspeed! May the force be with you, young Vikingwalker!!:)
