It has been awhile since the MDS Coordinators have posted their current salaries as of this year, 2015. I am curious to what the trends are now. I am a travel MDS nurse and I had the opportunity to speak with MDS coordinators across the country in my travels. I've polled a few MDS Coordinators I've met and these are the current salaries of those MDS Coordinators (and mine at my last full-time, perm position last year, 2014) and the city and state in which they live and the approximate number of years' experience they have. Most are RN's, I think one of these may be an LPN. I've found some parts of the nation Charlotte, NC $34/hr 5 yrs Southern Kentucky $27/hr 7 yrs Southwest Houston, TX $26 2 yrs Michigan $28/hr 2 yrs Western Kentucky $34/hr 9 yrs Southern Indiana $28/hr 6 yrs Please add yours to the list. If you want to contribute anonymously, send me an email to
