Hi all! UPDATE! I recently was blessed enough to break into the CM world on the insurance side. My job is to reach out to at risk pregnant moms to help prevent NICU admissions. It’s GREAT! I’m learning A TON! I can WFH 50/50, which is every 5 days and I think I will like that balance! I didn’t take a huge pay cut either. It’s about the equivalent of $3 per hr or so. But still fine for my needs.

I should receive additional information this week

Hi all! I would just like some insight. I recently applied for an OB Case Mgr postition and had a telephone screening yesterday. It went well. I now have a panel interview this week. The recruiter was very impressed with my skills and background. This would be a great opportunity to gain experience in the CM field because I currently have none and most places want you to already have experience coming in the door. The recruiter mentioned this is a salaried position.... I have never held a salaried position before. The pay is comparable to what I am currently earning, but slightly less. What is different about being a salaried employee vs. hourly besides just receiving a flat pay every two weeks? Are there any additional details I should inquire about? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

This is true. It just baffles me.... I guess you have to factor in the benefits as well. Idk

Yes, I know the VA in Baltimore would pay more.... if they would only call me! ?. Idk what they’re even basing the COL off of? Property taxes here are twice as much as they are in Maryland!

FWIW I would actually consider 80....considering the money I’d save by not having to use my own vehicle.... but looking at the pay scale, it indicates starting at maybe 60’s... I literally made that in my first year as a nurse almost 13 years ago. WITH only my associates. I can’t even pay my mortgage in one paycheck with that.

I actually live in York, PA. Work in Baltimore. The position is based out of Lebanon. They have offices in york, Lancaster and Mechanicsburg

I feel l&d would provide more insight in how to manage laboring mothers and how to respond in emergent situations. You will also get some post part I’m skills in there as well. Plus breastfeeding (golden hour). ?. If it’s a busy facility you will most likely have some PP overflow...

Location: Maryland (live in PA) Experiences: 12 years + Maternal/Child Health, NICU, Lactation OB/GYN and Pediatrics Office Based Charge Nurse Base: $45.07 + $1 for Charge Nurse =46.07 20% an hour for weekends time and a half for OT. Benefits: Free HC for employee, about $100 per pay for family union tuition reimbursement/stipend. I basically did my BSN for free. And can do my Msn as well.

I ultimately would like to transition to WFH Nursing. I currently commute 52 miles each way. I earn great money, but I’m a little over it. I have school aged children, so no child care needed. But I would just like to increase my quality of life while gaining more experience in other areas. My question is how can I break into this sector with no experience in CM, UM, etc and make a decent wage. I can take a slight decrease because I won’t be driving so much. But what do positions like this earn typically. I live in PA, FYI. TIA

I reviewed these pay scales... idk how in the world any seasoned RN is surviving off of these wages. I do understand that the cost of living in different places plays a role. But for my area, it doesn’t match to me... idk. I just can’t take such a drastic decrease... it would take years for me to even be back to what I’m earning now.

Thanks so much!

Hi all! I recently applied for and was interviewed for a home based primary care nurse position in Pennsylvania. I have been doing my own research and found that these positions are are under Title 38... That being said, I am trying to figure out how this is a god thing... If is supposed to be. The job i am interested in is M-F, no weekends, holidays or OT. I was told there is no locality pay for RN's. The pay scales that I am looking at ( sent to me by the hiring mgr) seem WAYYYY LOW!. I have been an RN for just under 13 years. I have my BSN as well. Lots of experience in Women's Health and Pediatrics. Leadership, precepting, etc. the manager mentioned that the pay scale there might be much less than I am used to. I can't believe Nurses are working for those pennies. My husband is a gov employee, so the HC benefits aren't an issue for me. I currently earn about 90k a year. I could take a little pay cut, but not 20-30k! I currently work in MD. Can anyone share some insight?? Thanks

I would imagine so.... the position has been posted since April, so I am keeping my Fingers crossed . Also I have been trying to get some of the pay scale information online. I know that they are unionized so there is a set amount for level of experience, degree, etc.... I did manage to find a union contract, but that was so confusing to me honestly. Do you know how much a clinic nurse would start with 10 yrs of (hospital)experience in the field that they are looking for? I couldn't tell from that scale....They do get pretty regular raises which is awesome. Plus all the other benefits. I would love to be employed with them! :)

Hi Friends, Can anyone share any insight on the hiring process for Kaiser. I've heard it can be a long one. I applied for a Lead RN position in one of their Maryland offices back in July. I just received an email the other day with a link to do an assessment, which I did and it said that I qualify. (Yay). What should I expect from here? Also, does anyone know what a position like this would pay ( ballpark)? I have been a Nurse for almost 11 years with mostly experience in the area of which the position is in. I have my associates degree but I am currently working towards my BSN.
