I have been offered jobs in the ICU at both the U of U and IMC. The pay is actually a couple bucks less than you guessed. Bummer. Really not a livable wage. I am waiting to hear back from the VA. I am hoping the will pay a bit better, that is the case here anyhow. I am going to follow your suggestion and look for a stand alone OR. Thanks again

Thanks for your response. I've never really considered working at an LTACH, but if the hours and the pay were better I guess I would do it

There are many posts about pay in Utah, but not everything is older and not much about experienced nurses... My husband and I are considering moving home to Salt Lake City to help his mom who has had some financial and health problems lately. We currently live in San Diego. I KNOW I am going to take a pay cut, but would like an idea of how significant it is going to be. I have been a nurse for 6 years and an ICU nurse for 5 at a large private hospital. Currently making about 42/Hr. Also, I am not interested in working nights. Do any hospitals in Slc hire directly to day shift? Or could I work float pool to avoid nights? I would also consider doing Cath lab/IR/PACU if necessary. Thanks in advance!
