[Hellllllo Nurse, BSN, RN]

$16.- $20./hr for dialysis RNs in my area, but there are no jobs, so I'm a traveler.

[AtlantaRN, RN]

I interviewed at Davita today south of atlanta. Was offered $25.50, I have 10 yrs experience as an RN, 1 yr critical care, but no hemodialysis experience.

I hate to go backwards as currently I make just over $26/h, but this is in my town, and they said that I can go to the other local centers to pick up overtime...

I met someone who has been with Davita for years, and he said they start at $28.50/hour.....The nurse that interviewed me said that may be the starting salary in downtown atlanta....

any thoughts?

thank you!

I find that dialysis wages are really regional. Some areas pay well- others don't. As a traveler, I find that in some areas, I make about the same as reg staff. In other places, I make more than double what they do.

I work for a Fresenius unit in a suburb of Chicago and I make 27.32 an hour.

I had to take a pay cut (basically, the same hourly pay I made with a large national dialysis company two years ago - which I had to fight for as the hospital initially did not even want to match that!) to work at a local hospital in the inpatient/acute dialysis unit. But it is so worth it, I don't think I could go back to clinic dialysis nursing.

Hospital nursing in my area does not pay well*, outpatient clinics usually pay $2-3/hr more to attract staff (but the workload is much more), and the only way to make more $ is to work on a premium plan (e.g., weekend or float hospital nursing in critical care or med/surg).

Does anyone know what the wages are for an LPN in PA in this field would be????

[Aquamarine]

In Buffalo it is 22.00 -23.00 to start with a 10% differential for after 3pm. There are a few jobs higher, a few 1.00 lower...

Are you sure this rate is for LPN and not RN's? If so I'm in the wrong area!!

Thanks for the reply and happy New Year!!
