PRN rates in Nashville

[rigdonam]

Hello all-

I'm trying to get the most current rates for prn in Nashville area. I can't get HR to call me back at the major facilities and really don't want to take the time to apply to all these places just to find out rates. I know Centennial is $32/hr with night and w/e diff. Does anyone know about St Thomas and Vandy? I have plenty of experience in critical care and trauma and am current on all my ACLS/BLS etc, so would just like to get rates to help me figure out where to apply. TIA!

centennial and st thomas will pay more for PRN than Vandy. You work at Vandy just for the name, they pay lower because of it.

Vanderbilt recently changed (March 2014) how they do their per diem/prn rates. (It used to be a lucrative $42/hr plus diff--no more.)

Now you get hired at your base rate based on # of years experience, then add your diffs. For example:

4 yrs experience--~$23/hr +$3/hr for float +$3.50 for nights +$6.00 for weekends

You also accrue PTO time and if you work 36 hours per week you are eligible for benefits. If you're interested go to Work at Vanderbilt | Vanderbilt University and look for "Float Pool." (I am not a recruiter, btw!)

Any of the HCA hospitals (Centennial, etc) will pay the $32 + diff, apply for them via Parallon Workforce Mgmt Solutions. I can't speak for the other hospitals. HTH.
