I know its personal but I am just curious, of course you don't have to answer it but for those of you who don't mind, answer please, thanks!
CNA/RN/LPN/PA/APN/fulltime/parttime/casual whatever your profession is, just state it and share :)
Even though I'm an Aussie, I'm going to answer too.
I am an RN Div 2. So hold a Diploma of Nursing. I'm first yeay out of Nursing school. 23 years in Aged Care. Pay goes up every year of experience.
I work for an Agency and make between $25.50 plus Allowances an hour to $47.00 plus Allowances an hour. With a MAX of 4 patient's a shift. Usually just one 4 bed room. How easy?
We get PAID MORE to work in the public (Medicare. Free) hopsitals!
An interesting fact for many American's worried about Socialised Health Care.
Hi! All,
I am a RN with 33 yrs. of ICU, supervisory and teaching experience. Personally, I believe salary transparency is an important, GOOD thing. Clinical ladders are gaining in popularity, (more pay for greater experience and coursework), and the critical, nation wide nurse shortage does nothing but get worse. I teach half-time for a CNA program, have one more 3 credit course and 1 exam for my permanent certification and make $20,100. Unpaid prep time is in part balanced out by the school calendar, you can't beat weekends, holidays and summers off. When I worked per diem supervision, I made $25/hr, no benefits. New York State just passed a law that takes effect July 1st, 2009, prohibiting licensed nurses from being forced to work mandatory overtime. Thank God.
I can make from $15 dollars up to $28 per hour, depending on a facility or agency travel assignments!
Currently I am on unemployment, and it is a pain in the you know what to not be able to pay all the bills!!!
Even though I have already applied for more than eight jobs in Washington and Arizona!!!
P.S.S. Now I have seven state licenses, not all active, but that can change!!!
