Somebody asked about the 2015 salary poll results:
QuoteWhat happened to the 2015 Salary Survey Results? Earlier posting said something about 18000 participants...but no results and its almost 2016! It's always very interesting to see how much or little folks are making in other regions of the Country. I think the Salary Threads posted in the past were so much more helpful than sites like Salary Wizard. Would really appreciate it if someone would start one again for 2016!
This got me to thinking. Oaufish is absolutely right. We have not seen the results of the long ago survey yet.
So...as requested, let's start the 2016 salary thread!
Please post
1] state you work/live in
2]Area of nursing you work in and whether you are an LPN, RN, NP or other. Hourly wage, both base and with differentials if they apply. Also include if this is a union facility if you would like.
3] Ballpark Housing costs [rent/mortage payments]. Is the cost of living in your area high or low compared to wages?
OK. I'll start.
