RN base salar

[sandersdw74]

I am a nursing student and will be graduating in August with a BSN and seeking information about RN base salary and differential for nights and weekends for the Shreveport Louisiana area. The hospitals of interest are: Willis Knighton, University Health, Christus Schumpert, and Overton Brooks VA Med Center. Does anybody have any information to share? Preferably someone who works at one of these locations who can give accurate information.

I'm sure you have a job by now. I am in the Shreveport area as well. All I can say is WK is the worst employer with the worst pay. Ever. In. The. Area. The supervisors are given bonuses for keeping costs down, and if that means keeping staff low then so be it. As of last year, around the time you wrote your post, WK FINALLY gave nurses raises - a first in 4 years. Prior to said raise, we were making $19.55ish an hour; but with nurses leaving to other areas of employment looking for higher wages, Elrod and his greedy partners were begged by supervisors to increase the pay because it was leaving them with a lack of staff, especially qualified staff.
