I am doing an anonymous study on what nurses are making these days.
From entry level diploma, associates, baccleaureate.
DNSc, FAAN, ANCeF
And any other specialty and surname of nurses that are out there today including nurses that have their MBA's
Please respond briefly with your pay, which state you live in and what type of hospital, doctor's office, nursing home or other area you live in and your specialty.
I usually work mostly weekends, but I also work a ton of OT. I also just began the hiring process for an ICU agency position. The base pay there will be $60-65/hr.
Specializes in Emergency, Critical Care Transport.
California: First job in SoCal, ER
New grad 31.27/hr, $2.50 evening/weekend differential, $5.00 night differential
After 6 months: 32.76, same differentials.
California: Second job: ER Northern Cali
$41.26/hr base pay
$1.75/hr weekend/evening
$4.75/hr night differential
Extra $100/month for any of the following(but you only get 100 even if you have more than one): CEN, TNCC, ENPC, etc.
Overtime is 1.5
Stay any time after your 12 hour shift and you earn double time (woohoo!).
SF Bay area (includes Stanford/Santa Cruz/Napa, etc) are the highest paid in our state - but even with their pay the cost of living is insane. The next highest paid are Sacramento/Tahoe (and some people in Sac and even Reno commute to SF for jobs), then LA, then San Diego and Far Northern Cal.
Specializes in LTC, Magt, family practice, legal nsg.

CA - Difference between North and South is 20% (that is due to cost of living)... just want to correct prior post - highest paid in CA - SF, although it can be insanely high in Sacramento area or Reno, only because of the shortage in that area. SF (not looking at Sacramento) is followed by San Jose, Monterey, and the rest of Northern Cal counties are almost the same. As far as Southern Cal - Orange County, LA, San Diego and the Valley areas are the same, followed by the Inland Empire Area (Riverside, San Bernardino, etc).
BTW, NA makes 120k-150K, NPs makes 85K to 120K (depending on experience), expert witness $120- 150/hr for reviews and court appearances at $250/hr. DONs for LTC makes 80-150K depending on the size and number of beds, while CNOs starts at 120K. Nurse consultants starts at 100K with bonus packages depending on the company plus expenses and mileage. Highest paid are nurses in CA and Hawaii because of the high cost of living. (I work for a company that have hospitals and NH nationwide and have seen budgets for different states).
Credentials: NP, LNC-CSp, MSN - I work as nurse consultant and have contracts in the entire state. If you want more information as to specifics on salary ranges, please send me a message.
Indiana--LTC LPN 17.00 base + 10 cents per year experience RN 21.00 base + 10 cents per year experience. $1 per hour shift diff. This hold true for hospital jobs for the most part too.
