Pay for old timers

Depends a lot on where you are located?

I think that I would rather not say for confidentiality sake, but I am in a city of about 500,000 in the east. I am not near any major metropolitan areas.

One of the hospices around here pays their full time nurses $62000/year...they are case managers ...no weekends...that's almost $30/hr.

Where on the Cape is that? Just curious because I work for a hospice on Cape and we don't make anything near that...That being said this is the third hospice(three different states) that I've worked at, we move a lot..hubby in the military, and $32 is high but not unheard of if it's hard to find good nurses in your area.

I never said anything about the Cape.

Wow if people are making that to start, what we are paying doesn't seem like so much.

Not you Gerry, CapeCodMermaid....:)

In California, it's in the 30's per hour, but you can't buy a house here on that! So think before you move anywhere for better money. :nuke:

River...you can't buy a house on Cape Cod for that either! The SNFs are paying new nurses about $23/hr....I don't know what Hospices are paying new nurses. There are at least 5 hospices on Cape and I think they all pay something different.

Pay varies widely by geographic region. In general, nobody gets rich doing hospice work but salaries are usually close to competitive within a region. It depends somewhat on the level of competition within your local job market.

$29/h; $2/h on call; .44 a mile...
