Amazing benefits! I've had three major surgeries in 10 years and I've never paid a dime. Best job ever!

Wow. I even have to pay a co-pay for simple, basic labs. In addition to 40 bucks co-pay, I have to pay 35 more for the co-pay to have my TSH/T4 checked! Lipid panel cost me 112, after insurance paid.

Reading through all these posts, I believe that nurses make decent salaries at best.

KSjo88, BSN · Oct 29, 2018

Location: Fargo, ND

Base rate: $25.50 new grad Rn

I believe night is $1.25 and weekends is $1.50

1% raises per year, this past year was an additional 1%

No on call pay.

Compensation is low compared to other jobs in the area. But most RNs come for the experience 1-2 years so they can go back to where they came from and get a job.
