Virginia/virginia Beach nursing salaries

ortho · Oct 24, 2007

I will be moving to Virginia Beach and I am interested in the salary ranges-I have 18 years of CCU/ICU experience and I am CCRN certified- any ideas? What about some specific recomendations for sentara hospitals? Also, any information on Hyperbaric nusing jobs would be greatly appreciated-Thanks

I SUGGEST YOR TRY CHESAPEAKE GENERAL HOSPITAL. WITH YOUR EXPERIENCE, YOU SHOULD MAKE A PRETTY GOOD SALARY! iM NOT SURE BUT I WOULD ASSUME THAT WITH YOUR EXPERIENCE, 35.00 @ MINIMUM PER HR. THE HOSPITAL IS PRIVATLY OWNED AND HAS GREAT INCENTIVES. CALL HR DEPT. IT.'S IN CHESAPEAKE, VA. I LIVE IN VA BEACH BUT IT ONLY TAKES 25 MIN. FOR ME.....GOOD LUCK

Just want to say I do not know any nurse (regardless of experience) at any hospital in the VB/Norfolk/Chesapeake areas (which covers most area hospitals) that makes a base pay of 35.00 an hour!

Perhaps at the top of the scale, plus diff.? Or someone in management.

I just don't want anyone to get the idea that's the normal pay-it is most definitely not for the area.

Hi, All I Know Is That I Make 25.00 Per Hour, After Not Nursing In 10 Yr. This Is 3-1130 Pm. With All Her Experience She Has To Be In A Much Higher Bracket. I Am An Rn With Not That Much Experience In Hospitals [4 Mo ] In The Past.

I'm thinking of moving to virginia beach/chesapeake area in about a year is $19.60 all RN's make, I'm an LPN in Tacoma, WA and I make $18.60 an hour with just over a year of experience. Does anyone know about salaries for the hampton veterans affairs.

Wages are lower here than WA, and the VA reflects the general wages in the area. As an RN, I took a $10 pay cut coming from Olympia, and with state income tax my income is a full 1/3 less. Cost of living is similiar to Tacoma, but cheaper gas and cigarettes :) Working off-shifts does help, but our general lack of a union in the area makes it difficult to get good wages and benefits. Think you would be safer with the VA because then you can join the Gov't employee union--but be aware, they are VERY slow to respond to applications and you will need to keep in touch with their HR office--I recommend calling them weekly. I'd be happy to answer questions about the area versus WA.

I am graduating with my BSN from Arizona State University (new grads in Phoenix make about $25-27 an hour). I took a job at CHKD in Virginia because my fiance lives there, but I will be making $20.38/hr. That is a HUGE paycut! I am looking forward to my new job because it's what I want to do, and where I want to be. The weekend differentials are $2/hr, after 3 pm is $2/hr, and after 11pm is $7/hr. I don't think there is any difference between ADN and BSN.
