hi everyone..
Im planning to get into the nursing world,i just wnna ask how much they make an hour just to give me an idea of the salary.Thank oyu so much.....be right here waiting...
I'm in northeastern Indiana... New nurses fresh out of school start here at $17 and change. We top out at 29. If you're willing to drive a few extra minutes, just across the border in southern Michigan, most places are starting at $20+ with about the same top out. Someone was asking about office nurse pay... Offices that are part of our group pay between $11 and $16 regardless of LPN or RN.(The medical assistant scale is just $2 below that) I'm told that's actually pretty good pay for an office nurse around here.
I work in a cath lab and have been an RN for 8 years. I work Mon-Fri, no weekends nor holidays, but do have to take call several nights per month and that of course, is extra money in the paycheck. I make $21.99/hour and $3/hr more when on call. With call time and overtime, I made over $56,000 last year. This is NOT in the Indianapolis market.Good luck!
OH MY GOD!!!! I'LL NOT COME TO INDIANA. I'M AN LPN IN GEORGIA AND I MAKE $23/HR. I'M CURRENTLY PURSUING MY RN DEGREE. OUR PAYROLL CLERK MISTOOK ME FOR AN RN AND REFLECTED THAT ON MY VERY FIRST PAYCHECK...A WHOPPING $34/HR. GREAT INCENTIVE TO GET PAST ANATOMY. AM I GLAD I JOINED THIS SITE SO I'LL NO WHERE NOT TO GO!
Is There A Reason Indiana Pays So Little? Are There Any Metropolitan Areas There That Would Pay More? I've Been An Lpn For 21 Years And I Am 41 Years Old And Making $23/hr Which I Believe Is Pitiful Considering The Stress Endured On Med/surg Floors With Nothing But Legalized Drug Seekers And Demanding Families.
