Thanks very much, I plan on waiting until I have 2 years med/surg under my belt becuase I want to make sure I get the most out of the hospital learning expearince. I feel very comfortable and safe as an RN providing care to my patients and I know policy and procedure well jus sometimes feel like its overwhelimg. The money is great but if I had to take a pay cut to work up to what I belive would be a better job oppurtunity then i would def do it. I will def look for a smaller unit and I might keep up with hospital pool to make a lil more money on the side and keep up on my nursing skills. Thanks so much and I hope that i can become a acute dialysis nurse one day lol !!!

Philadelphia cost of living can be pricey depending on where u live at and how are the benefits im a RN with a lil over 1 year expearince and make 30 an hour at a level 2 trauma center and my rent for a 2 bedroom is 900 a month. Hope this helps and congrats on the job offer and I think that salary is good for 1 year exp on board, if you need more any u can go pool or per diem at another hosp or rehab close by

im currently a trauma nurse with 2 years acute expearince and I am intrested in becoming a dilaysis nurse. I live in philadelphia and wanted to know is it better than med/surg. I want to do acutes but do I have to do chromincs first? and how much money does it pay?, i make like 30 $/hour in the hospital and have gotten use to this pay. Thanks
