Raises after annual review where you work

[1fastRN]

Just curious, what's the standard pay increase at your facility following a performance review? Is there a standard percentage?

Also feel free to throw in base hourly pay if you wish, since it differs so much depending on location.

0-3% but almost everyone gets 2.75% for some reason. We also have a clinical ladder program that will give you an extra $2-$5/hr if you participate.

I worked (emphasis on "worked") for a for-profit HCA. One year I received a $0.06/hr raise. Sheesh, why bother. The reasoning was "the economy and you should be glad that you have a job with all the other hospitals laying people off". Just so happens that all of the CEO's received a raise that gave them more PER MINUTE than I received PER YEAR. They all made out pretty well that year.

No raise, COLA if lucky.

2% is standard where I work, provided it's been a good year financially for them. We are a not-for-profit healthcare system and are required to take in a lot of patients who don't have ability to pay. There was a period from like 2010 to 2012 where nobody got any raises. I've been there since 2006 becoming an NA in 2009, and eventually an LPN. Now working on a BSN. I finally managed to get a 2% increase in 2013.

We have been on a pay freeze for at least a year before I started working there. I'm coming up on a year and still earning the same rate as when I was a new grad on orientation. And they wonder why they have such high turnover.
