:balloons: Congrats on the degree, I dont know what state you are in, Im NY. Ave pay for state DD RN 53k to 64k. Duties? I teach infection control, train medication personnel(non-nurse), attend surrogate court, am main nurse for 2 ICf(intensive care facility) and 6 group homes. In addition plan clinics keep medical paperwork up to date including quatrerly and annual observations. Sounds alot but we all do this or carry a 200 load for home visitation-thats considered a plum by the way, weekends off. Private agency down the road uses 6 nurses for same client load, but less money40-45K and no security. But if you love your job whatever the field, it is going to fit like a pair of slippers. Dont get intimidated, especially by those who cant share their knowledge and help you out-its probably not worth knowing anyway-check some of my emails out. You go where the job makes you feel alive and proud to be a Nurse and all it stands for. Do that and you'll rarely be wrong-lots of luck from an ancient nurse Christopher class of 77
