Help!
I have an interview with a major hospital in Dayton, Ohio after recently working in a physicians office. The pay at the physician's office was very low for an RN with 19 years experience ($19.90/hr). Can anyone give me an idea of the going rate for an experienced RN working in critical care in a major hospital in Dayton?

Well I just know what i have been making after 17 years at one of the big hospitals, You can pm if you want. around $31 and there was just a market increase for nurses working bedside. but I personally think my hospital is the best in the area.

Can you say which on yours is without compromising your identity?
Kettering Health Network which consists of Kettering Hospital (the one I work at), Sycamore Hospital (located in Miamisburg and also a good choice) then Grandview and Southview (both of those were bought by Kettering). Good Luck, Oh if you do go there please PM I can get a bonus.
Thanks for the info. It is very interesting that the hourly rate for hospital (and physician office!) nursing has not grown comparably with other professions with the same educational training. I guess we continue to nurse because we love it.
