I agree the pay here is horrible. However I have heard for awhile that nurses in the south stereotypically have high pt loads and low pay, that's why so many of them leave. I am getting out ASAP after I get my experience, I can hardly pay my bills on this wage.

Also, I did post about state hosp being lower pay...well they make up for it in other ways. .50cents retention/hr, 3.00 for certain depts. of the hosp(which seems like most), 3.75 I think for after 3pm, and 3.00 or 3.50 for weekends, so averages about the same as other hospitals.
