RN Pay Transparency

I was just looking to see if we could create a pay transparency for RNs.

I work in Illinois in the Chicago Suburbs, at a Northwestern Medicine Hospital

Experience:

6 years - 2 on inpatient Stroke/Neurology (1 year floor nurse, 1 year primary charge nurse)

4 years - Critical Care, Emergency Room, and Rapid Response Team

Current title: Rapid Response Nurse, ICU Nurse (I work 2/3 nights rapid team, 1/3 nights ICU floor/charge fill)

Base pay: (after my yearly raise) $38.70

My hospital system does have shift differentials.

weekend: $2.50/hr

3p-11pm: $4/hr

11p-7a: $5/hr

    I also have my CCRN certification, along with the normal BLS, ACLS, PALS, NRP, US IV training, etc.

    Oof. Is it not unionized? Consider moving to Minneapolis. You will easily make about $15/hour more here.

    Also, you didn't mention your highest level of education. At a lot of places, that is a factor.

    There isn't a difference at my hospital. I currently have my ADN and finish my BSN next fall.

    My hospital is also not union, a few hospitals in the Chicago metro area are like UIC, etc. But most in the suburbs are not.

    Chicago Suburbs here. I also worked for Northwestern at their Palos Hospital location. I made 42$/hr base pay for 2 years experience in the OR. 

    But I moved to agency. I've made anywhere between 50-90$/hr. But sadly there does not seem to be many agency gigs in Illinois right now. So I'm moving back to full time OR, but trying out CVOR this time, so I can go back to agency again eventually.
