In Florida, I was told the salary was ~ $15 - $16 per hour. Not near enough.

Good luck to you.

In west Texas the pay is $16-$19/hour. The key is in negotiation IF your area is short nurses. Try this....Don't ask what the pay is but TELL them what pay you require.

I heard the Maryland Prisons re-scaled their nurse pay recently with a market comparison. Let us know what they offer you.

Good luck on that interview! There is a thread here on common interview questions for your review.
