Reno/Sparks RN salary?

U.S.A. Nevada

Published

Specializes in Step-down, cardiac.

My husband and I are considering relocating to Sparks to be near family who moved there, and because my husband is retired Navy and interested in working for Tesla. I'm an RN with five years' experience primarily in telemetry and Step Down with some ICU and house supervisor work. I've got BLS and ACLS. Does anyone know about how much a day-shift RN makes at NNMC? Do they pay PRN nurses more in exchange for not getting benefits? (I'm currently PRN at my hospital, and I get a big hourly increase because I don't get insurance.) Do the Reno hospitals have a higher pay scale than Sparks (i.e., would commuting into Reno be worth it)? Any info about working in the area would be awesome!

you can get from one end of Sparks to the other end of Reno in 20 minutes, we are not the biggest little city in the world for no reason. I am just a student but I would say check the hospital websites. St. Mary's, Renown, and northern Nevada medical center it takes me 10 minutes to get from Sparks to Renown in downtown Reno

Specializes in Dialysis (All Modalities) , Ex-CVICU RN.

With 5 years of experience, I'd say you'd hit anywhere from 30-35 / hr. Maybe more. If you'd be PRN, you'd probably be closer to 40. It depends what hospital but I can see NNMC paying 35-40/hr per diem.

Reno / Sparks - all pay generally the same. If you want higher pay, then work in Carson City.
