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.
Don't remember the shift diffs, but it comes out to around 28.00 per hour.
Our medical insurance is quite expensive and benefits were decreased over the past several years. Nurses are not paid what they are worth, certainly not for what we paid for education.
but we dont have night dif. coz they said the workload in the morning shift is much harder than the evening...I've been working for 4 mos now and this my first job here in the US as an RN...
they gave me 3 weeks vacation on my first year...in which i could take advantage the 1 1/2 week vacation after my 6 mos from hiring...
9 sick days... 10 legal holidays and paid birthday...
Specializes in Oncology, ID, Hepatology, Occy Health.
France, Parisian suburbs.
€21.90 per hour which at current exchange rates translates to US$31.40 or £19.02 sterling.
This is for nights, 35 hour week (French standard working time = roughly 12 nights per month 12 hour shifts 7pm - 7am), 25 years experience.
Opportunities for overtime which pays at 125% - maximum two extra nights per month.
One off €100 ($143.41) bonus per year if your annual appraisal is satisfactory.
One off annual bonus if the hospital hasn't gone into debt that year (this year €316 = $452.94)
May Day holiday "gift" every 1st May (a book or CD you choose from a given list)
Five weeks paid holiday per year plus 12 public holidays. Up to 5 bonus nights off per year if you take holidays outside the popular school holidays (I don't have kids so I always take advatage of this), 2 bonus nights off per year for the tiredness factor of permanent night duty, one "dressing" night per year (compensate for the time you take dressing/undressing in the locker room).
When I left my last job in 99, I was at $65k a year with OT and shift diffs, and it wasn't enough then.
Now I get 1200 social security and about 1600 state retirement. DH carries our secondary insurance but medicare sucks out of both of our SS. Last year I did spend 4 days in the hospital, but over the past 10 years I bet I've only seen the doctor maybe 3x a year.
:nurse:Home health nurse in PA. I made 62,000 the last 2 years. I have an associates only. M-F, 1 weekend and 5 weekday 430-9 every 2 months, rotate holidays, 6 pts a day. Not bad friends if I must say so.
As an entry-level BSN, I am starting out at $23.50/hr. I will also be working night shift. Not entirely sure what the shift differential is (I did not ask that during the interview because I did not feel it was appropriate, even though my new manager told me what I would start out as).
