are pay rates in general much lower in New Mexico?
I've been quoted an hourly (taxed) rate of $20/hour, plus maximum housing and living stipends that work out to about $25/hour untaxed (I definitely qualify, since my tax base will be Maine)
I've also been told that that is a flat rate, not to expect differential for nights or weekends....is that usual?
I'm certified in and have 20+ years experience in both adult and pediatric critical care. I think I'd be pretty marketable:wink2:
Oh, yeah. I forgot to mention that there's contracts in Los Cruces as well. Never worked there so I can't tell you anything except it's a real pleasant college town.
thanks for replying. i am glad to hear you are getting great pay and you love it out there! i am with american mobile and was told by my recruiter not to expect anything more than 28 per hour in NM. i am going to work at presbyterian in alb doing med surg. i dont have tele skills or acls but i do get along well with my co-workers, have a good attitude, show up to work on time every time ready to work. i say a little prayer every morning asking God to help me be part of the solution and NOT part of the problem!
anyway, so glad you are liking your assignment. i cant wait to get out there and do some hiking in the sandia's and some powdery skiing up at taos. suzanne
