Specializes in ICU/ER.

This may have already been posted as I didnt read the entire thread---but it doesnt really matter what any one posts because unless you live in that area of the poster it doesnt matter.

I make 27.5 an hour --yet hosp in your area may pay 22.00 an hour--are you going to pack up/buy a house and move here?? Prob not.

Some will say they make 50.00 an hour and we will ohh and ahh at that figure---yet how much is thier house payment? How much are they paying for a gallon of milk? Do they have a big yard with lots of trees or are they haveing to live in an apt?

Nursing is not, has never been a job where you "can get rich" but you can live comfortably. I can live comfortably just off my 27.75 an hour as the ones who make 19.50---prob just as comfortable as the ones who make 38.5. It depends on the location-cost of living-etc etc etc

$15/hr. as an RN doing assessments for one of our State's Medicaid programs.

As the raise I was promised nine months ago never materialized (along with many other things), I have an interview scheduled with a private homecare agency on January 9th.

yeah I am not planning on relocating because some places pay more because most pay more because the cost of living is higher at that location, I am just curious :)
