RN Sup pay rate?

[crazin01]

hi all.  

Yes, I've done some research, but as usual prefer to get input from actual people.  I'm very new to long term care but have 16 years RN experience (varied: mostly cardiac, some ICU, trauma step-down, hemodialysis, psych/addiction for some background)

Thus, I said something like start me at whatever is comparable for a new to this position but experienced RN would start at.  I think it's a bit low, but whatever.  

A few months go by, I planned to ask for a bit of a raise, after a few months.  that time is now & I know they love me (Administrators & owners!)  They also have terminated the assistant DON position and I am planning on getting the infection preventionist certification, actually right now.  I had planned on ensuring an ample raise occurred.  

I know Agency LPN's here make more: they can be $45/hr, I'm $40.  Is that somewhat comparable to other dayshift RN supervisors in PA?  (A somewhat rural area, which I'm sure most already figured!)

 

thanks for any opinions & advice!

If you are in a rural area, $40 is pretty good for an RN sup (and not a DON). If the cost of living is lower. But you should not be doing two different jobs. I can see helping out but not two different job descriptions.
