Does anyone know the hourly rate for an OR Nurse (Clinical Nurse III) with more than 10 years of Nursing experience in the Knoxville, TN or Charleston, SC areas?

I think Nurse.com (or was it Advanced for Nurses?) just came out with their annual salary survey.

I think that a CNIII should be making between 35-55 an hour. This is based on what I have seen in our hosp in NC.

34-55. That's a big gap.
Truly it is a big gap. But the way that salaries are weighted in NC is largely based on experience. If a new CNIII gets promoted from CNII, then it is of course on the small end of the scale, and if they have been a CNIII for a number of years, it goes up. It is next to impossible to get a CNIV in my institution unless you are directly involved in management; thus the gap in pay. Most nurses do not want to be in management and are satisfied with the CNIII tier. I hope this explanation helps some.
