Location: Las Vegas

Experience: 4 months (will be 5 months on Feb 12th)

Facility: Transitional Rehab

Pay: $27/hr with 2 weeks vacation per year and employer subsidized health ins. Biweekly take home averages out to $1750 after tax, more lately with pretty much mandatory OT due to minimum staffing and maximum patient census).

Expenses: Rent (1 BR 5 minutes from work in nice complex)-$820/month

Heath Ins-$75 biweekly (will be dropped if ACA is repealed since it would go up to about $400 biweekly) Comes out pre-tax.

Utilities-$230/month (including cell phone)

Car payment + Ins-$350/month

Debt-$600/month

So I pay out about $2000 of the $3500 I get each month. We'll see how long it takes me to pay off everything because I'm sorely tempted to cut back on my working hours...go extreme part time like maybe 1 day a week and work a non-nursing job a few days a week to cover normal bills. The workload is far too much to handle right now without me feeling like the worst nurse ever. Money is not that important and I'd rather go back to a $10/hour job that doesn't leave me crying myself to sleep many nights worried that I forgot to do something that will kill a patient.

That is interesting. CO RN's are moving away due to low pay but, somehow you pull off what nurses in LA are making.
