What do you get paid?

Published

I would like to create a thread where Nurses can go to find out what others are getting paid all across the US.

Please state your credentials (RN,BSN, NP, LPN, CNA)

How many years of experience you have.

What area of the country you live in.

If you are inpatient or other type of work environment.

What is your specialty (Critical Care, Telemetry, Pediatrics, Oncology, Med Surg....)

What sort of hours you work (Day, Night, 12 hour shifts, 8 hour shifts

What your hourly base pay is and what kind of differentials you get.

You can also feel free to include what kind of benefits you get that might add value to your job (paid parking, matching retirement plan, ...)

The reason I am asking this is because I am thinking of getting a new job and I have not found a good source for how pay rates vary around the Country. I am not even sure if I have a good deal going or not.

It would be great to have this information so that I can make an educated decision.

Hopefully it will help others who are looking for work or just wanting to compare how much they make to what others make. Knowledge = Power.

I am an RN, BSN, 5 years experience, Certified Oncology Nurse working in Maryland (Baltimore City) in an outpatient chemotherapy infusion center, 8 hour shifts 5 days a week, 8am-4:30pm, Base Pay $30/hour with no differentials at all (because I don't work nights, weekends, or holidays). I get good health insurance for $60.00/month. No other benefits (not even parking).

Anyone else care to share?

I'm a pediatric home care RN.

No benefits. No PTO. No sick time. None offered through this agency.

I work 40hrs a week. Base pay 30$ hourly, time and a half on holidays or after 40 cumulative hours. I have over an hour commute each way to 90% of my care locations. My job is relatively easy.

Specializes in Critical Care, Education.

I understand you desire to compare salary, but you also need to consider all of the factors that affect your "net" purchasing power in any location. This includes mandatory deductions (union dues? insurance?) state/local taxes and overall cost of living. Here is a web site that lists a number of great sources for this information. Salaries, Costs of Living, & Relocation

Another important issue is the benefit structure of your employer (retirement, tuition reimbursement, continuing education, etc) - this is a 'hidden paycheck' that can make quite a difference. In order to make really good decision, you will need to look at the big picture, not just hourly wages.

I live I'm Louisiana and have been a nurse for 10 years. I'm a RN-BC, BSN, CLNC and currently working as a "Team Leader" in dialysis . I have only been in the dialysis area for a year now, and has come to find out it is a different world. I have word in areas such as Hospice, Home Health, Corrections, PACU, and board certified in Med/Surg. I have also worked as a ADON for the Home Health company I worked for and have been a charge nurse on the Med/Surge floor; as well as a RN supervisor in the corrections area. I am starting my last semester in grad school at Loyola University of New Orleans, pursuing a Masters in Nursing with a concentration in Health Care Management Systems. My currently make $28.23/hr and was promised a $1 raise after 6 months and the company reneged on their deal, but wants to constantly wants to add duties to the ones I already. The benefits are ok, nothing to brag about. I am just waiting til school is done before I decide to make another move.

Thanks,

Carlos W.
