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've noticed that you have conspicuously failed to mention LPNs/LVNs, which are a major backbone of today's nursing workforce. Meanwhile, back at the ranch...
I'm an RN with an associates degree who lives and works in Texas. My specialties are long term care and rehabilitation. I have two jobs at the present time: one is a part-time weekend night shift position at a nursing home for $28 hourly, and the other is a PRN gig at a rehabilitation hospital for $36 hourly plus $6 differential per hour for working nights.
ummm maybe the poster doesnt care to know those particular positions wages? why would you even mention that?
she didnt ask about a construction workers pay, or the environmental service workers.....
any way
Connecticut, level 1 trauma, OR
39.87 per hour,
3.50 eve diff
7.00 night diff
5.75 weekend diff
I have been a rn for 8 years, but they start new grads at this hospital at 28 and change /hour
Well, for one thing, it rarely takes only two years to get that two year degree. If you took the *perfect* courses in high school, and went directly into community college, you may only need to take a few prerequisites before the ADN program. However, at least at my school, most students aren't recent high school grads, nor did they line up their HS courses specifically for the ADN program.
The prereq requirements for the programs with which I am familiar are pretty strict. For example, in my case, having been out of HS for nearly 30 years, it took me 4 full years to get through the prereqs to the prereqs, and then the prereqs themselves, and then finally the ADN program itself.
The other thing is, I personally never hear RNs say they don't get paid well. What I hear my colleagues say is that they aren't paid enough for what they have to do/put up with. LOL
