Published

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 :)

I wasn't going to answer this post, but I know how curious I was as a new grad about salaries... so here goes...

I am a new RN grad (graduated May 08, started in August 08) with a BSN. I work in an SICU, and I make 25.76/hour plus 10% night differential and/or 25% weekend differential. I get 5 weeks of vacation, 10 federal holidays, 13 sick days/year, and a uniform allowance too.

Love my job, and I have great coworkers.

Yes, it depends on what kind of setting and location. I know in Philadelphia, hospitals you can get $27 to start. For nursing homes, about $24. If you do home health, about $35 per visit. And then if you want to do prison, it's $31. This is the average rates from friends that work in these settings. But if you go to the suburbs, it's less.

I work as an LPN at a upscale assisted living in Asheville NC. My base pay is $20.00 hr. w/shift diff. I was told that is more than the LPN's at the hospitals in Asheville make. I don't know how true that is...but, I was also told that agencies in Asheville pay more that $20.00 hr. starting for LPN's.

The easiers way to compute this is the following:

Yearly salary / 26

Take this number and divide by 80 (or divide by the number of hours you work every two weeks 75)

This works if you get paid every two weeks

Certainly does work, because I do get paid biweekly. Thanks!

It's really snotty the way some of these people are being so coy. No one has to respond if they don't want to.

I work in a nursing home in the middle Tennessee area. I'm an RN and I make $25.00/hour.

I don't know why there seems to be such a big secret about salaries. My hospital the RNs are unionized so we all know upfront what the wage rates are for varying years of experience, plus add BSN, MSN (paid very little difference though), Clinical ladder, certification (paid the most at $1.75/hr, longevity and it can add up to another $3.00 per hour at least. I have over 40 years experience as a RN most of it ICU/CCU and my hourly is now without the extras on top at $45.3/hour.

Now, I also live in a very expensive tax area -----central NJ---- my housing value has dropped $50,000 in the last year and my taxes are still over $8000/year for my 30 year old house which has 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, 3/4 acre and supposedly still going up according to the last newspaper articles on my township.

When we went up to Hopatcong to take over my father-in-law's affairs when he became unable to do so, we found him living in squallor with no running water, no bathroom, no kitchen...though he had a view of lake Hopacong...the property was on less than an acre and of course, the house was unliveable and he was paying $300 per month in property taxes.

Legalized thievery is all it is.
