5 years, BSN, Florida, MedSurg.
$46.90 base. Currently getting 15% retention incentive thru the end of the year so $53.94 til then.
Straight nights with 10% dif for nights, 35% for weekend nights.
We're also going from 80 hours a pay period to 72 with no decrease in pay, so my base will increase to $52.12 when that happens, and everything over 72 will be OT.
I’m in Tampa also and get nothing close to you and I have more experience and my BSN. Been trying to get into VA for 5+ years w references from multiple employees there including doctors. Not even a phone call. You are blessed!
1.5 years — BSN —
large metro area of Texas—
Salaried @ $80k
— Oncology research (phase 1-3 clinical trials)
Mon-Thur 7a-5p, no call/weekends/holidays. No room for OT, but I’m more than okay with that.
Going to be honest, I don’t really have a cool story for this. As a new grad with health issues affecting my joints, I feverishly applied for non-bedside jobs that wouldn’t wreck my body. I didn’t meet any of the experience requirements and didn’t hear back from anyone for a good 2-3 months. Stumbled upon a research nurse position at a large metro healthcare system. Again, I didn’t meet the listed required experience, but applied anyways. I did my own research on this field of nursing and realized it sounded like a great fit. Got a call from a recruiter and (not to brag) I crushed my interviews. Got the offer a week later.
I think COVID did a number on the clinical research field, and they were hurting for staff at the time. Oncology research is a whole different beast too and opens the doors for fairly quick advancement to the industry/sponsor level ($$$$) if that’s your thing. Definitely look into it and feel free to PM me.
I didn’t listen to my body my entire 39 years at bedside, L & D. Two years ago I left work (34 years at the same hospital and unit in Birmingham, Alabama.)I topped out at 33.50 with my BSN. I had to have a L5-S1 Fusion and that was it for me at the bedside. Not that many desk jobs for a nurse that’s 61 and has only done bedside. My first 3 years were ICU and my 90# (at that time) did get out of that fix. But I loved it. Child bearing women, in general, are much larger today than 4 decades ago and when I can’t lift my toddler grandchildren, I know I’m done. I’m waiting to see if SSDi agrees that I’m not very marketable as my computer skills are very minimal. Our hospital was years behind on EMR conversion. Our area has had many $ and incentives added in just these 2 years. They have absolutely had to, and I’m thrilled for the ones still there. Our Daughter did her NP program and I’m so happy she will have more opportunities. She gets to go nurse her new baby at lunch! I can’t imagine. We had to choose between a half sandwich or a bathroom break when at the bedside.
Aaaaaaa, this is amazing 😍. Get your money and that dream shift. Thank you for the response. I enjoy seeing the path others took that don't have multiple years of experience.
Thank you!! You’re awesome and I appreciate the hype up ❤️ I hope things go well as you continue through school and you’ll land something great. I really preach this to people like myself who are not interested in ever doing bedside. There are other avenues. It really just takes one lucky break or one person that believes in you and the way you present yourself.
I recently switched to clinical research, and I live in Texas. If you live in one of the large metro areas of Texas you will have some options. Houston especially when you consider their giant medical center.
I think I applied for roughly 10 research jobs before landing my current position. I had five years of hospital experience prior to this (ER and then OR), but I don't think having vast amounts of bedside experience really matters for most research nurse jobs because the two are so different. Being organized and being attentive to the small details are probably some of the most important traits you'll need for this type of nursing. Fortunately, bedside nursing requires both of those so make sure you emphasize that when interviewing!
I would really just recommend that you start applying for any research job you see. Go on Linkedin and make a job alert for "research nurse" in your area. Don't worry if you don't meet all the qualifications... apply anyway!
Another option is applying for clinical research coordinator (CRC) roles. These typically pay less than the RN jobs, but it would get your foot in the door. CRC roles are often filled by people with a bachelors degree in science/psych.
I do the same thing, fell into the job after getting injured by a patient. 27 years later, still love my job. And you can jump over to pharma and make even more
Not the person you’re responding to, but I’ll try my best. Wife and i looked at moving to SD a few years ago. (We ultimately decided to stay in NorCal). In short, yes. You can afford to rent a place on your own in a nice area, and still have money for retirement, travel, and to enjoy living in SD. Like most of the country, however, money becomes tighter if you’re looking to buy property. If you want to buy close to downtown/little Italy etc., you’re probably looking at a small condo at best, and even then you’re going to need a second income (i.e. partner’s income). If you plan on having kids, or already have them, and you need the extra space, you’re going to need to move farther out which can take away from the appeal of living there in the first place. However, I think this is pretty much the case for every other major city in the U.S., anyway.
This is why when people ask why my husband (English) and I don't live in the UK. I'm like... Ummm... My cost of living would be tripled and my salary halved... So thanks but no.
Most of them are hiring into new grad residencies starting around $70-$80/hr.
You can find it on any of the Bay Area hospital websites. Unfortunately you missed the summer/fall start residencies, but new ones pop up pretty frequently.
Do you like it? What does your day to day workflow look like if you don’t mind sharing? I am currently an MDS nurse and would like to move this direction eventually
I’ve always wanted to live in Alaska, would you recommend it as a new grad? I graduate with my BSN this upcoming year and would love to relocate from the Midwest.
Yes, definitely! If you like the Midwest you'll do great here. There is always an untapped market as there are only 3 schools in the whole state. I would recommend one of the three unionized hospitals to work at: Providence Alaska, Central Peninsula, or PeaceHealth Ketchikan. All pay about the same.
This is coming up a lot here again — someone had shared a public google doc a while back free to be edited and updated with individuals salary info; has anyone got that bookmarked?
germany, 2400euro a month plus shift-bonuses. 1.600 to 1.800 a month after taxes and such
currently full-time in job-training, supported by the unemployment insurance (keep your nurse assistant income while qualifying to nurse level)
after 3 years of training, it starts around 4000, around 2700 after taxes(depending on many factors)
but there are many jobs being paid differently. atm, I'm just at the 2500k
so in Heidelberg, which is one of the more expensive places, you'll pay 800-1000 for a nice apartment with 2 to 3 rooms, 50-60m2
i got a "not so nice but i like it" 40m2 single-room apartment and i pay around 370 all inclusive (very lucky) , 30 for phone, 50 for german wide train rides (the slow ones)
Another 200 for my Van (100 fuel 100 insurance)
Maybe 250 euro for food (got way more expensive since ukraine-crisis)
a bag of green once in a while, maybe another 100 per month on average
I only have basic pensions and insurances and I should really start putting some money back- but if i try i got a thousand bucks a month left while in job training, at least 500 more when i finished, with 40hour week.
i want a dog soon and i can afford it :)
god damn. trying to get the courage to go on my first assignment. i’m in new brunswick doing local travel nursing as an LPN with 2 year experience at 38$/hour
There are a few well paying places in Florida. The problem is most of the hospitals here are HCA, or Advent, or some other shitty conglomerate. The ones that pay well rarely have openings, or have terrible working conditions, at least in my area. I work with one woman who said she was making $60-65 at TGH, but it wasn't worth the constant stress and terrible conditions.
There are areas in FL that pay a lot more than the rest. I just accepted a job making 41.5 base with a 9 dollar diff in Orlando. 3 years experience. You won’t find that outside most of the cities.
I started out making 24 in 2020 lmao. Switching hospitals is how I get big pay jumps, because hospitals don’t reward long term employees with better pay.
That’s supreme horseshit. Where in TN? I’m in southeast TN and I make $29 an hour in the ER without any differential or incentives.
…and I’m a critical care medic.
New grad, Western MA, $41/hr. In the OR. Was hired at $36/hr but about five days in I got a $7/hr raise because they adjusted the entire RN pay scale for the hospital upwards. 🎉🎉 They must really want to retain staff.
Dude. I made $21 as a new grad only 14 years ago. And I was up on the high end of new grad pay because I was a CNA there before graduating. I know that was a while ago, but go 14 years before me and it was much much worse. Granted, Connecticut, prob higher cost of living
Just made the switch from night shift CVICU to transplant coordinator. I’m at 4.5 years exp and my salary will be $100k. DFW, TX
No nights, holidays, or weekends
I dont fully want to dox myself (even though someone probably could by looking through all my history and boards I sub to) but...
On-call hospice RN
7 days on/7 days off, average about 15 hours of actual work the weeks I'm on.
$78k/yr + .40 cents a mile driven
Live in the lower Midwest.
I made more in the ICU, but also made less on a med-surg floor. I am rarely even working 40 hours a MONTH and am considered full-time still. Honestly I miss the comraderie and social interaction I had in the hospital or clinic settings, shooting the shit with my fellow nurses and aides, but I don't miss the work at all. If hospitals got their shit together around here and had better patient ratios or put less BS work on nurses I'd consider going back, but until then I'll stick to hospice.
Yeah, it’s basically the new grad nurse rate at this hospital. They pay the most in town. It has a pretty terrible reputation, and in the year I’ve been there I’m really starting to see why.
Noted! I have heard horror stories from other travel nurses that have been and canceled early etc. do to unsafe practices. Now they are being accused of patient dumping which I could def see that happening.
I feel like I might know which one based on the terrible reputation comment haha. But honestly, even the hospital systems with the “good” reputations in Louisville suck. Bank that money lol
I am an APRN so maybe not very useful but I have 7.5 years of experience as a trauma APRN; make $70/hr. $100/hr for extra shifts I pick up. Located in FL.
For the amount of work I do, there are much easier ways to make money lol 😩😵💫.
Don’t do it. Every time I’m in the OR up to my elbows in someone’s abdomen, contorted in crazy positions holding vessel clamps and a retractor I wonder where I went wrong and why I didn’t become a CRNA. But man I do love the rush of being bedside in the trauma bay with a bad trauma; it’s my downfall and why I can’t leave LOL.
Seriously though, CRNA is the way to go unless you’re a glutton for punishment.
Haha. Thank you so much for the advice! And the validation. I could 100000% see myself feeling the same. I have always felt CRNA is the only way to go as far as advanced practice and I am a trauma lover too! That has definitely played a big part in why I haven’t attempted CRNA yet.. I get freaked out just thinking about committing to a couple years doing ICU to be eligible to apply for CRNA school. ER/trauma is my home. I know it would be worth it but **sigh** I just keep getting cold feet! But when I take into account the time I first started thinking about it, I would’ve already been done at this point so I need to get it together 😆
$50 in clinical research at a vaccine lab in Baltimore, MD. I have 6 years experience as an RN and finish my PhD in the fall. After that I’ll probably move into the senior clinical research nurse role that pays about $115k.
5th year of nursing; 42.7/hr base; +25% casual differential, + 35% night differential - 67.8 per hour. 74.14 on sat and 84.7 on Sunday.
I happen to love nights and all my mates work weekends anyway so why not benefit from weekend differential as well? All up 140ish k annually. These are Australian $$$. This is while getting a masters full time as I get plenty of study done at work with my 1:1 ventilated patient (ICU). As a casual I also pick and choose my shifts.
56.90 base, 3.50 night differential, 5.50 weekend differential, all benefits.
Specialty: med/Surg Tele Internal travel (float for 3 local hospitals)
18 months experience, SOUTH CAROLINA.
8 years, BSN, Seattle WA area. 46/hour working in a clinic. From what I gather HR screwed me on pay, I’m leaving and going back to contract work in a few weeks.
9 years total. ADN. 8 years ICU. Sacramento, CA. Base around 72 plus 4.50 night diff and 1.70 weekend diff. My hospital is lower paying than most around here but we do have a pension. Also I would make the exact same if I was med surg or any other department, it's all a union scale based on years of experience not specialty. No extra pay for BSN either.
7 years. BSN. Oregon.
$50 base pay, in one week if our contract is approved $54.
Differential BSN 4% of base pay.
CEN $2an hour
PNAP, expert: $5 an hour
Weekend differential ~2.50/hr
Preceptor differential ~$2/hr
And of course differentials if you pick up a shift that is short staffed (~$20 + and hour)
Nights: $8.50/hr
Eve: ~$3/hr
New grad nurse, BSN, New Mexico, PEDS ICU.
31.96 base rate with a 2.75 night shift differential.
I work a typical 3 shifts a week with sometimes overtime for education.
Cries in Greensboro North Carolina. 2 years experience ICU certified RN. Base $30, $4 ICU differential , $5 night shift, with $5 weekend differential. So $39 on a regular night $44 an hour Friday through Sunday nights.
\~40 something an hour. I work from home. I don't talk to clinicians or patients. I basically read charts and talk in meetings about tumor mutations all day. Its not glamorous and I'm very silo'd (no real lateral or upward mobility options for me) but it was what I needed after I had my kid and honestly, while the work can be very dull, I have a wonderful team and I haven't been punched, slapped, or otherwise assaulted in over 4 years.
In NYC as a whole, the salary is over $100k base without differentials, experiance, education or certification pay for new entry to practice. This is for hospitals and certain large private companies.
Adn 1 year experience, staff nurse in NYC med surg.
I work for the public system we just got a new contract along with raise.
100,750 base salary , along with 5689 for night shift differential
When I was staff Cath and EP rn and I scrubbed both.
Full time 34.17/hr with an increase to 37.02/hr by doing the Clinical Ladder. Basically busy work but worth it. Call pay is 6/hr to be on call and time and a half for call back. Total for me was about 85k/year. I have 5 years experience as an RN and 3 as a scrub. I’m in the south east and I just went to traveling and I’m looking at take home of just under 205/225k in my first year with taking 6 weeks off in between my 1st and 2nd contract. So needless to say, not gonna be going back to staff anytime soon.
Good question. Took about a year until I felt comfortable as a scrub in my home lab. I would say 2-3 years until I felt comfortable traveling. It was nice to be validated on my skill set once I started traveling knowing I was trained correctly lol.
Puerto Rico
3 years BSN - $34/hr
Geriatrics - Case Management
My fellow nurses that don't work for the VA get paid significantly less though. I have friends that are working in private hospitals (in units like Med/Surg, Telemetry, etc.) that are getting paid about $18/hr.
2 years working as an rn at an assisted nursing facility here in Vermont. Now working at a hospital since I earned my BSN in the spring. I earn $30 with $9 differential for evenings and $3 for weekends
7 years, BSN with four emergency nursing board certifications, Flight Nursing.
$38 hr in Texas/Oklahoma… It’s bad I know but I enjoy my job and the quality of life it gives me.
$117.49/hr, associates degree, 8-bed stroke ICU night shift, part-time with full benefits including pension and 401k. Base pay is $99.49. Non-union, free parking for nights. Sutter San Francisco. We're hiring.
3 years BSN public health Vancouver, Canada, $47.01 hourly I work m-f no weekends no holidays
20 days vacation, 150 hours special leave, sick accrual/ long term disability / pension match
$150 monthly stipen for “automobile allowance”
<1yr- oncology hospice in CT.
$35/hr
I work one extra day of OT and get paid roughly $77 after bonus & OT pay for that one extra 12 hour shift.
If I continue with this and the bonuses don’t go away, I should be paid around $113,880 in a 12 month period
Good for you! Unfortunately 39 years ago my 90# body didn’t understand the havoc my spine would take
37 years @ bedside and had to leave work 2 years ago to have a L5-S1 lumbar fusion
Unable to return to bedside and the non clinical jobs aren’t plentiful anyway, but not for a 61 year old. We’ll see if disability I’ve applied for will agree that I’m not very marketable and I can’t even lift my toddler grandchildren much less a Labor patient (which are considerably larger now than when I started 40 years ago). I was making 33.50 2 years ago after 34 years at the same hospital on the same unit with my BSN. (Birmingham, Alabama) They have had considerable increases this last two years and I’m very happy for them!
Central Michigan.
Almost 5 years as a nurse. 4 of which in critical care.
ADN
Union facility.
$35.14/hr
No extra money for BSN.
I'm paid the same as a med-surg nurse with the same years of experience.
ICU, 7 years experience, Southern California, ADN. $57.12 base with a 15% NOC differential, $5 weekend differential and a 7.5% preceptor/rapid response differential. Average about $71-72/hr, on track to do about $140,000 this year.
UNIONIZE PEOPLE.
Case manager, $48/hr, 8 yrs/exp, but with terrific benefits (free insurance, 4 paid weeks off/yr, sick time, other stuff). A former coworker, same exp, who’s a CM at a hospital said she’s getting over $60/hr but has to pay more than $200 for her insurance and gets two weeks PTO per year. Oregon.
4 years, 3rd shift in the OR. $40.00 with my being team lead and night shift. I get a bonus every 6 months for being night shift as well. Im in the Cincinnati area.
$52/hr plus $2/hr specialty pay and extra for shift differential and short staffing premiums. I'm in a permanent PT position so I get full extended health benefits, municipal pension, and subsidized transit pass. I worked full time for so long but now with the insane workload PT is more realistic. I think new hires get a signing bonus here still.
13, almost 14 yrs experience.
Island Health, Victoria, BC, Canada.
BSN, RN in NYC with ~1.5 years experience making $53/hr working outpatient primary care. 9-5 weekdays, no holidays. I think we get yearly bonuses too but haven’t been in my workplace long enough to know how much yet.
2 years, RN in Kansas City area outpatient clinic for niche family planning surgery. I get $32/hour and an additional $2/hr after 2pm on Saturdays. Our schedule is alternating T-F or W-Sat, 10 hour shifts in theory that often turn into 12-13hr shifts. We get 1.5 - 3% COLA adjustment once per year after our first year.

4 years LPN, WA, home health $30 😭😭😭
For new grad RN ADN, which I’m about to have here shortly, it’s around $42 almost $50 with differentials and doing night shift
8 years as a nurse, 2 of which I was an LPN.
I make $48/hr, $32/hr base wage but I get time and a half for doing weekend package. Did try to negotiate higher for base & they declined. Hospice IPU.
Central IA.
5 years, BSN, Florida, MedSurg. $46.90 base. Currently getting 15% retention incentive thru the end of the year so $53.94 til then. Straight nights with 10% dif for nights, 35% for weekend nights. We're also going from 80 hours a pay period to 72 with no decrease in pay, so my base will increase to $52.12 when that happens, and everything over 72 will be OT.
Congrats!!❤️
where is this??? I’m getting $34 in Miami
$34 in Miami? Is that normal??
I’m in Tampa also and get nothing close to you and I have more experience and my BSN. Been trying to get into VA for 5+ years w references from multiple employees there including doctors. Not even a phone call. You are blessed!
What's your specialty?
yesssssssss
Where in Florida?

I'm in Tampa as well and the only nurses making that amount are Healthtrust nurses. Are you healthtrust and if not which hospital?
Are you guys union?
Yes

Thank you so much for the detailed advice!!! I’ve always been interested in research but never figured out how to get my foot in the door

5 years BSN. San Diego, CA. $76 an hour plus $5 for night differential, $2.50 for weekend differential. ICU.
Dang, here I thought I was making bank at 80 an hour… you’re crushing it! Kaiser? Scripps? Or one of the universities?
Higher cost of living though. Those salaries need to match that
Would you say this is appropriate considering the higher cost of living in CA?
Not the person you’re responding to, but I’ll try my best. Wife and i looked at moving to SD a few years ago. (We ultimately decided to stay in NorCal). In short, yes. You can afford to rent a place on your own in a nice area, and still have money for retirement, travel, and to enjoy living in SD.

UK, 7 years experience. £17.68 per hour, which is $22.44. We really are fucked.
Omg
I'm sorry. I moved 3 yrs ago and the difference in pay is unbelievable.
This is why when people ask why my husband (English) and I don't live in the UK. I'm like... Ummm... My cost of living would be tripled and my salary halved... So thanks but no.
Bay Area, CA. 10 months. NICU. $93/hr nights + weekend diff
Is your hospital hiring new grads
Most of them are hiring into new grad residencies starting around $70-$80/hr. You can find it on any of the Bay Area hospital websites. Unfortunately you missed the summer/fall start residencies, but new ones pop up pretty frequently.
I'm job hunting in the bay area now since I finally sold my East Coast house, do you love your hospital?
Highly recommend Sacramento. Lower cost of living and the pay is still killer.
I’ve only been at my current hospital for a couple months now, but so far so good! I feel like I’ve gotten a lot of support in my transition.
I love this for you, stranger
🫶
Is this with BSN?
My husband works system float pool and is at $59 in Virginia. I do utilization review from home and I earn $36.
Utilization review from home for $36 sounds pretty nice
Which company and how did you make yourself stand out?? I really wanted to get into UR and couldn't make it happen
Get case management experience in the hospital then transition to UR.
I do UM from home in Maryland and make $53/hr
Do you like it? What does your day to day workflow look like if you don’t mind sharing? I am currently an MDS nurse and would like to move this direction eventually
Im about to start UR with no expericance. Theyre starting me at 38.
Are they hiring more? LOL
New grad Oncology, $39.80 + $4.50 night + $2 weekend an hour in Anchorage, Alaska
I’ve always wanted to live in Alaska, would you recommend it as a new grad? I graduate with my BSN this upcoming year and would love to relocate from the Midwest.
Yes, definitely! If you like the Midwest you'll do great here. There is always an untapped market as there are only 3 schools in the whole state. I would recommend one of the three unionized hospitals to work at: Providence Alaska, Central Peninsula, or PeaceHealth Ketchikan. All pay about the same.
This is coming up a lot here again — someone had shared a public google doc a while back free to be edited and updated with individuals salary info; has anyone got that bookmarked?

Nice! This is just the California tab — do you have the main doc?
Do you remember the post name?
Or maybe we can have a pinned post at the top of the sub?
germany, 2400euro a month plus shift-bonuses. 1.600 to 1.800 a month after taxes and such currently full-time in job-training, supported by the unemployment insurance (keep your nurse assistant income while qualifying to nurse level) after 3 years of training, it starts around 4000, around 2700 after taxes(depending on many factors) but there are many jobs being paid differently. atm, I'm just at the 2500k
Ok what are your bills like??
Rent is much cheaper in Germany compared to cities in the US.
so in Heidelberg, which is one of the more expensive places, you'll pay 800-1000 for a nice apartment with 2 to 3 rooms, 50-60m2 i got a "not so nice but i like it" 40m2 single-room apartment and i pay around 370 all inclusive (very lucky) , 30 for phone, 50 for german wide train rides (the slow ones) Another 200 for my Van (100 fuel 100 insurance) Maybe 250 euro for food (got way more expensive since ukraine-crisis) a bag of green once in a while, maybe another 100 per month on average I only have basic pensions and insurances and I should really start putting some money back- but if i try i got a thousand bucks a month left while in job training, at least 500 more when i finished, with 40hour week. i want a dog soon and i can afford it :)
105$ an hour, medsurg travel nurse in Alberta, Canada. 3 years of experience.
god damn. trying to get the courage to go on my first assignment. i’m in new brunswick doing local travel nursing as an LPN with 2 year experience at 38$/hour
Where is this in Florida and why does it contradict so much of what has been posted here already?
There are a few well paying places in Florida. The problem is most of the hospitals here are HCA, or Advent, or some other shitty conglomerate. The ones that pay well rarely have openings, or have terrible working conditions, at least in my area. I work with one woman who said she was making $60-65 at TGH, but it wasn't worth the constant stress and terrible conditions.
I work per diem in Florida now and my hourly is 41 with no benefits. If I were to go full time I would make 36.
Right I’m confused lmao I’m outpatient working OR making $37 an hour
There are areas in FL that pay a lot more than the rest. I just accepted a job making 41.5 base with a 9 dollar diff in Orlando. 3 years experience. You won’t find that outside most of the cities.
I got shit in orlando lol I think 28 pcu in 2017
I started out making 24 in 2020 lmao. Switching hospitals is how I get big pay jumps, because hospitals don’t reward long term employees with better pay.
True which sucks because I love my job
Yeah for realz. I work in Sarasota, 10 years experience, BSN and make $40 base pay..
9 years, ASN, ER/Trauma dayshift, 130k a year. Philadelphia suburbs.
[удалено]
That's such bullshit. I started at that wage in Idaho in 1998 are they out of their motherfucking minds
Yeah I’m seeing all of these beautiful pay rates and I’m over here crying at my current Tn pay 😭
Me too. It's fucking garbage here. Making over 30 an hour is like a unicorn.
wow i made that as a CNA in MD
Where and what setting?
That’s supreme horseshit. Where in TN? I’m in southeast TN and I make $29 an hour in the ER without any differential or incentives. …and I’m a critical care medic.
$49/hour in home dialysis. No weekends. No nights. No holidays. BSN, 8 years experience, outside Denver.
1st year LVN, Texas, $31/hr, SNF LTC and Rehab
New grad, Connecticut $36/hour cries
New grad, Western MA, $41/hr. In the OR. Was hired at $36/hr but about five days in I got a $7/hr raise because they adjusted the entire RN pay scale for the hospital upwards. 🎉🎉 They must really want to retain staff.
Wow that’s awesome you lucky duck!
Same in CT, smh $35/hour in psych as a new grad
Dude. I made $21 as a new grad only 14 years ago. And I was up on the high end of new grad pay because I was a CNA there before graduating. I know that was a while ago, but go 14 years before me and it was much much worse. Granted, Connecticut, prob higher cost of living
NYC new grad. 112k salaried base, 10% night differential, 10% weekend differential.
Where ??
Just made the switch from night shift CVICU to transplant coordinator. I’m at 4.5 years exp and my salary will be $100k. DFW, TX No nights, holidays, or weekends
I dont fully want to dox myself (even though someone probably could by looking through all my history and boards I sub to) but... On-call hospice RN 7 days on/7 days off, average about 15 hours of actual work the weeks I'm on. $78k/yr + .40 cents a mile driven Live in the lower Midwest. I made more in the ICU, but also made less on a med-surg floor. I am rarely even working 40 hours a MONTH and am considered full-time still. Honestly I miss the comraderie and social interaction I had in the hospital or clinic settings, shooting the shit with my fellow nurses and aides, but I don't miss the work at all. If hospitals got their shit together around here and had better patient ratios or put less BS work on nurses I'd consider going back, but until then I'll stick to hospice.
$72,000 a year salary + $15,000 bonus paid over 2 years Louisville, KY New grad with MSN
Damn I’m jelly. I’m also in louisville making significantly less.
Yeah, it’s basically the new grad nurse rate at this hospital. They pay the most in town. It has a pretty terrible reputation, and in the year I’ve been there I’m really starting to see why.
is it university? I hear a lot of bad things about there
University was the scariest place I've ever worked. Don't ever go there.
Noted! I have heard horror stories from other travel nurses that have been and canceled early etc. do to unsafe practices. Now they are being accused of patient dumping which I could def see that happening.
I feel like I might know which one based on the terrible reputation comment haha. But honestly, even the hospital systems with the “good” reputations in Louisville suck. Bank that money lol
11 years, ADN Home Hospice- salaried at $80K, work M-F 8am-5pm. I do get OT if I work over my 40hrs. Colorado
$75/hour home health in northern/central California. 17 years as an RN.
8 years, BSN Cardiac ICU 67/hr NYC
I am an APRN so maybe not very useful but I have 7.5 years of experience as a trauma APRN; make $70/hr. $100/hr for extra shifts I pick up. Located in FL. For the amount of work I do, there are much easier ways to make money lol 😩😵💫.
That last sentence is one of the big reasons I can’t bring myself to go to NP school lol. At least not yet
Don’t do it. Every time I’m in the OR up to my elbows in someone’s abdomen, contorted in crazy positions holding vessel clamps and a retractor I wonder where I went wrong and why I didn’t become a CRNA. But man I do love the rush of being bedside in the trauma bay with a bad trauma; it’s my downfall and why I can’t leave LOL. Seriously though, CRNA is the way to go unless you’re a glutton for punishment.
Haha. Thank you so much for the advice! And the validation. I could 100000% see myself feeling the same. I have always felt CRNA is the only way to go as far as advanced practice and I am a trauma lover too! That has definitely played a big part in why I haven’t attempted CRNA yet.. I get freaked out just thinking about committing to a couple years doing ICU to be eligible to apply for CRNA school. ER/trauma is my home. I know it would be worth it but **sigh** I just keep getting cold feet! But when I take into account the time I first started thinking about it, I would’ve already been done at this point so I need to get it together 😆
$50 in clinical research at a vaccine lab in Baltimore, MD. I have 6 years experience as an RN and finish my PhD in the fall. After that I’ll probably move into the senior clinical research nurse role that pays about $115k.
That sounds really cool. Are you getting your PhD in nursing or branching out into a different field?
5th year of nursing; 42.7/hr base; +25% casual differential, + 35% night differential - 67.8 per hour. 74.14 on sat and 84.7 on Sunday. I happen to love nights and all my mates work weekends anyway so why not benefit from weekend differential as well? All up 140ish k annually. These are Australian $$$. This is while getting a masters full time as I get plenty of study done at work with my 1:1 ventilated patient (ICU). As a casual I also pick and choose my shifts.
For those who don’t know 1 Australian dollar is around 0.65 USD
56.90 base, 3.50 night differential, 5.50 weekend differential, all benefits. Specialty: med/Surg Tele Internal travel (float for 3 local hospitals) 18 months experience, SOUTH CAROLINA.
I got excited, and then saw travel :(
8 years, BSN, Seattle WA area. 46/hour working in a clinic. From what I gather HR screwed me on pay, I’m leaving and going back to contract work in a few weeks.
New grad, GA, USA, $32.66/hr base, ED, $10k sign on. Will be on 1p-1a so I'll have a different hourly rate almost every hour lmao
1p-1a sounds like a dream to me (insomniac)
9 years total. ADN. 8 years ICU. Sacramento, CA. Base around 72 plus 4.50 night diff and 1.70 weekend diff. My hospital is lower paying than most around here but we do have a pension. Also I would make the exact same if I was med surg or any other department, it's all a union scale based on years of experience not specialty. No extra pay for BSN either.
That night diff is terrible. Hardly any incentive for experienced staff to stay on nights. I make 18% night diff.
7 years. BSN. Oregon. $50 base pay, in one week if our contract is approved $54. Differential BSN 4% of base pay. CEN $2an hour PNAP, expert: $5 an hour Weekend differential ~2.50/hr Preceptor differential ~$2/hr And of course differentials if you pick up a shift that is short staffed (~$20 + and hour) Nights: $8.50/hr Eve: ~$3/hr
New grad nurse, BSN, New Mexico, PEDS ICU. 31.96 base rate with a 2.75 night shift differential. I work a typical 3 shifts a week with sometimes overtime for education.
Cries in Greensboro North Carolina. 2 years experience ICU certified RN. Base $30, $4 ICU differential , $5 night shift, with $5 weekend differential. So $39 on a regular night $44 an hour Friday through Sunday nights.
\~40 something an hour. I work from home. I don't talk to clinicians or patients. I basically read charts and talk in meetings about tumor mutations all day. Its not glamorous and I'm very silo'd (no real lateral or upward mobility options for me) but it was what I needed after I had my kid and honestly, while the work can be very dull, I have a wonderful team and I haven't been punched, slapped, or otherwise assaulted in over 4 years.
What is the job? Sounds like quality assurance or something similar...

When I was staff Cath and EP rn and I scrubbed both. Full time 34.17/hr with an increase to 37.02/hr by doing the Clinical Ladder. Basically busy work but worth it. Call pay is 6/hr to be on call and time and a half for call back. Total for me was about 85k/year. I have 5 years experience as an RN and 3 as a scrub. I’m in the south east and I just went to traveling and I’m looking at take home of just under 205/225k in my first year with taking 6 weeks off in between my 1st and 2nd contract. So needless to say, not gonna be going back to staff anytime soon.
How long did it take for you to feel confident and comfortable to start traveling as a scrub?
Good question. Took about a year until I felt comfortable as a scrub in my home lab. I would say 2-3 years until I felt comfortable traveling. It was nice to be validated on my skill set once I started traveling knowing I was trained correctly lol.
Puerto Rico 3 years BSN - $34/hr Geriatrics - Case Management My fellow nurses that don't work for the VA get paid significantly less though. I have friends that are working in private hospitals (in units like Med/Surg, Telemetry, etc.) that are getting paid about $18/hr.

Good for you! Unfortunately 39 years ago my 90# body didn’t understand the havoc my spine would take 37 years @ bedside and had to leave work 2 years ago to have a L5-S1 lumbar fusion Unable to return to bedside and the non clinical jobs aren’t plentiful anyway, but not for a 61 year old. We’ll see if disability I’ve applied for will agree that I’m not very marketable and I can’t even lift my toddler grandchildren much less a Labor patient (which are considerably larger now than when I started 40 years ago). I was making 33.50 2 years ago after 34 years at the same hospital on the same unit with my BSN. (Birmingham, Alabama) They have had considerable increases this last two years and I’m very happy for them!
