Pay at Planned Parenthood

Hi there,:nuke:

I'm a prenursing student, so I can't be too helpful, but I would like to share with you what I know about Planned Parenthood.

First of all I think it is wonderful. I don't have insurance and I go there for my annual exams, birth control etc. In California everything was free because the program is state funded. I recently moved to Colorado and I actually went there yesterday for a missed period and it cost me $120 out of pocket to see the NP.

I was a volunteer at the clinic and from what i understand, RN's do not work in the regular clinics. Only the NP see patients, volunteers and administration take care of the rest.

At some clinics they do the more contriversial procedures such as medical and surgical abortions. There, RN's play a role in assuring patient wellness.

So, I think pay will very on state, title (RN, NP), and which kind of clinic you would work in.

Hope that helps and good luck!! :flwrhrts:

Thanks...I'm glad you like PP. I am applying for an RN position with a fairly substantial list of duties in the job description. At the interview they want to know what my salary expectations are;I don't want to price myself out of consideration,but don't want to go too low either.

Everytime I read about PP,I always hear great things from staff and clients. Good to hear from you.

Do you know what the average RN salary is for your area? Perhaps you could list the average salary, or a bit lower. I doubt they pay what hospitals pay for RN's but I am sure it is comparable.
