RN Supervisor salary

[laurenjarrod]

Hi Everyone,

I was offered a position to move up from a staff RN to a Supervisor. I have my formal meeting later this week but was wondering what to expect salary wise. I know that salary differs depending on location but a ball park figure is fine since I have no clue what to even expect. I'm in Northern NJ if that helps at all.

Also, what are the basic responsibilities.

Thank you!!!

That is almost impossible to answer. I would expect at least 10% increase in pay, personally. And duties depends on the job, the facility, etc.

Typically if you are internal, it is just a percentage bump. I would estimate between 3-5%. There is usually a grid to that factors in any prior years of leadership experience. I was making around $28/hour at a previous job...I took on more responsibility at another organization and increased to $50/hour. It varies by location/cost of living, etc.

I was offered a similar position and I turned it down. They were only offering $1.50/hr more than I am making now. Not even close to worth it for the added headaches in that job. This is in LTC in WI by the way.

I make $8,000 more a year after being promoted to supervisor from staff RN. It's worth it to me because I get weekends and holidays off. I still get the occasional call at home and have 24/7 responsibility for the unit.

I'm a nursing house supervisor / charge nurse in a salaried position at a small specialty hospital that is owned and operated by a national corporation. My pay is in the $75k range per year. I am in Texas.
