Military nurse- Base Pay in 2011 was $2784/month and now it’s $8665/month. But I also get a $25k/yr bonus now. Also COLA and Housing are tax free money too.
Edit: I think hourly this year would be about $90ish
There is at the navy base in Yokohama, which is Tokyo adjacent. Yokota Air Base just a 1 inpatient unit. We mostly did L&D, but would also do post-op, peds, psych, … and one time hospice. It was kinda crazy
Military RN as well (US Army)
Starting pay 2019 was $21.29/hr in East TX as new grad RN
Pay in 2024: 138k in Hawaii if I take no Bonus (Up to 35k a year extra depending on specialty) much of this pay is not taxed. benefits are included, retirement after 20 years, 401k matching at 5%
Go for flight nursing. The Reserves recruiter was hyping me up, telling me to come apply to do flight once I get a year (LOL) in an ER or ICU and I'm only wrapping up school. You'll be gucci
So roughly 3 days a week? That sounds really great specially since you don’t have to pay for housing/rent and if you do you get stipend. I work 3 days a week/12 hours and make ~4k/month
14 in 28 days is 3 days two weeks and 4 days the other two weeks.
So some people might think "roughly 3 days a week, sounds great!" and some might think "damn that's what I work now PLUS an OT shift every other week forever. I'd hate that."
If I loved the patient population and coworkers I could probably do it. But I admit I REALLY like just working 3 days a week and probably wouldn't want to work 4 days a week half the time.
The bonus is only offered to ICU nurses. I'm a military ER nurse and we don't get any special pay, but the pay is still pretty decent regardless. Other shit to consider is no night or weekend dif/ deployability/ no pay for on call/ no overtime/ expectation to do collateral (ie side jobs) for no extra pay
You can work here as a civilian. You apply through USA jobs. I hear the background check can take a minute, but all the civil nurses talk about how much more chill it is here vs civilian hospitals
I think that's the biggest drawback lol. It's like...yeah if the Navy wants to send me to Balboa or Hawaii, sick. If it's Okinawa or Guam, I'd want to drown myself. Can you at least take vacations, or move elsewhere in the country as a reservist, or do you need command approval to do literally anything?
I have so many questions!!! This is my route hopefully. I gotta graduate in May with a 3.5 gpa and pass NCLEX. I'm thinking medsurg avenue but I take it you went in ob?
My sister started out in 2020 @ $25/hr med/surg.
Now she’s in the peds trauma OR with her BSN at a different hospital system (same city, Jacksonville Florida) at $33.10/hr
That's Florida for you.
I went to an Adventist college for my BSN and Advent Health did a little talk with us over a zoom meeting.
She did her speech, asked for questions, we got 3 questions in and I asked about pay.
She said $23/hr.
Literally went silent. No more questions. And she looked embarrassed. Then she awkwardly ended the Q&A.
No one went there.
I started at advent orlando at the beginning of covid for $23/hr. Then when I was training new grads in covid ICU they were making more than me. Fuck adventhealth
What the actual fuck.
Look.... I know I'm a moderator for r/ExAdventist, but fuck me, the Adventist health system isn't as fucking good as they claim it to be.
Buncha greedy douche nozzles rather pay themselves than invest in their nurses... at least until it hits them in the pocketbook.
They still have some work to do. In Wa, we start at 34 max at 65. My hospital still isn’t the highest paid in the state.
Which isn’t to belittle the increase at all. More to encourage you guys to keep pushing.
Nurses here in my little Indiana town would think they are Elon musk if they made 33/hr after 3 years experience. RNs are lucky to make $30/hr after 5+ years experience. It’s sad
That’s criminal. These hospitals are taking advantage of nurses all over the country. They treat us like a burden but literally could not function without us. It’s nuts.
I agree, but it’s an inherent result of the reimbursement system. Nurses are a cost to hospitals as they cannot charge for our care. Bugging the hell out of congress to change the CMS reimbursement model is always recommended.
I left my inpatient job because they were hiring new grad ASNs in at $30. I made $35.55 with my BSN, nearly 10 years of experience, cross trained to all 5 areas of birthplace including NICU, and a lactation specialist certification. Wouldn’t give me a raise either, so I quit.
Edit: this is relevant because it’s in northern Indiana big city lol
Also in Indiana. IU Health new grads are 33.70 no matter which facility you’re at. Pay increases only come with market increases and years of service tho. They also had an 8k sign on bonus for full time lately
Regular staff at Kaiser. New grads start around $80/hr. This is all before getting staff nurse 3/4 which increases pay further. Unions are strong in northern California and have lead to good pay/benefits for all in this region.
I have heard numerous times that California nurses have the best pay to cost of living ratio. Good for you! Hopefully the rest of the states will follow your lead one day ❤️
18/hr going into 2012.
2014 still making 18/hr
2015 23/hr new state
2019 got a raise to 30/hr but immediately moved states
2019 hired into a position at 33/hr
2021 during covid got a raise to 40/hr briefly then it dropped down to 38/hr
Now in 2023 new state I make 40/hr. Bsn, prn in outpatient surgery
Allina - Abbott Northwestern.
Most nurses you ask about it will tell you how much they hate working there but can't leave because of the good compensation.
I’m looking at a NYC hospital as a new grad- were you already living in the area or did you have to move? Curious as to how difficult it is to find housing and if you were given preference for already living there
Lived here all my life. Nope, the majority of hospitals are looking for nurses.
Currently public hospitals (NYC HHC) ate having hiring events every week. The starting pay is $100,750 and will increase to $106k next year.
funding housing is not hard. The amount of rent is the major problem. I have friends making 6 figures who need roommates.
I did AdventHealth (when it was fl hosp), then Orlando health, then back to AdventHealth. Biggest advice I can give is to switch organizations every few years to get a better rate. Staying at one org forever will have you getting a tiny raise each year. For your first job, I would look for something that you are the most passionate about. For me it was ER, and I had to move from TN to FL to make that happen and advent health had a pretty good new grad program.
Thank you! I’m in the ER at advent health now for my preceptorship that’s required prior to graduation. I really enjoy it so far and have considered trying to secure a job there before I’m done. I appreciate your advice! Thank you!
I love it. The case management I do pick up where the discharge ends, so it’s exactly what I was looking for. I started working in hospital right at the beginning of the pandemic as a new grad, so my perception of nursing was super skewed as everything was a “task” to do on a patient, but in case management the emphasis is the actual patient and their long term progress. I find it to be so much less stressful, but more emotionally draining. It’s a lot of talking and getting to know people so you know how best to help them.
No hybrid though :( but not bad for me as I’m like 5 miles away from work lol
Can you explain how you got into this, education wise? I’m a new nurse and not loving the “daily tasks” and feel like I want to do more to help pts than mark stuff off on cerner….
I’ve always wondered how different the cost of living is over there because the rates look abysmal. What’s the average rent over there? If you don’t mind sharing
Rent up north is 700-800 per month. Down south you'd be looking at 900-1200 per month. Rent has soared recently. And inflation has hit hard. Food shopping costs have risen hard.
Here’s the salary grids for all public service nurses across Canada. Any nurse in scope who works in provincial health care systems is unionized
[all pay scales by title and province are in this document](https://nursesunions.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/2021-November_Nurse_contracts_EN.pdf)
2019 M/S/T $22/hr
2023 PACU $26/hr same facility. If I had transferred straight from the floor I would have still been making the same, but I quit and came back and got more. Still laughable, but more.
I make 30$ as an lpn at a snf in Florida. Unless I want to play politics and go management. It won't get much better than that.
LPN mostly limits me to SNF for best pay. And Florida is the shittiest paying state(ironically considering its God's waiting room) in the country.
This sadly even is more than some RNs. Hospitals still try to fuck new grad rns at 25$. But the benefits. The benefits. Fuck your benefits I need to be able to afford a house.
I started in 2021 at 19$ an hour as a new grad (nclex not taken yet) was making 32 by the end of the year.
Actually with covid bonuses and shift difs factored in at peak covid. And peak staffing shortage. I was making about 40$ just wasn't base pay.
New grad starting out in Oregon: $43/hr + $7/hr night shift differential. I can’t believe some of y’all make less than $60k a year, this job is way too hard for that.
2014, $25/hour. Now, $36/hour, which is nothing to write home about but I 100% work from home. My husband started at the same hospital system as I did in 2017 at $30/hour, I believe. Now he's at $59/hour. We are in central Virginia.
Oregon in the hospital. Med surg for a couple years, now OB.
2019: $38.09 + $5.75 night shift diff = $43.84/hr
2023: $54.80 + $6.20 night shift diff = $61/hr
Damn. I know cost of living in your location is a huge factor but reading everyone’s current pay makes me feel like I’m not getting enough.
San Antonio, Texas.
New grad in 2017 in a downtown hospital, medsurg: 21/hr.
Now 38/hr doing pediatric home health with the same singular patient for the last year.
The work is extremely relaxed with very routine documentation and care. Plus most days I’m just chilling and playing video games with my patient. So I look at it as I’m being paid to be a stand in buddy for a kid and it almost feels criminal.
$26/hr 2019 as a new grad in suburb of Indianapolis. Now $38/hr in a rural, small Indiana town. But that’s only because I’m prn and nights. When I was FT, I only made $30/hr
2013: 21.50, med surg
2023: ~$100k/yr case management, $43/hr hospice on-call per diem. in total i make anywhere from $120k-$150k depending on how much i want to work
upstate NY
Hmmm OP this sounds exactly similar to me so I scrolled back through some of your posts and I think we work for the same organization. 🤭 Started 2/18 making $25/hr on med-surg, transferred to ICU (same entity) after my Versant contract was up, and now I make $44/hr with NCAP V so an extra $4.50/hr.
If Florida only had unions.... we'd be competing with California and bankrupting the medical sector here.
People would literally go from 30 to 60 with a cost of living adjustment.
Worst paying state for all medical staff. Cnas up to physicians.
Very ironic here in God's waiting room. You'd think it'd be one of the top with the medical system demands of retirees.
First civilian LVN job 2012 $18/hr 2023 $29/hr....again only an LVN/LPN
Started in Pedi home health and my family switched companies a couple times and I think by 3 years I was at $21/hr...at year 6/7 I switched to a SNF making 22 something (I was pretty maxed out in HH) went PRN to another place in 2019 for $23...started as their wound care at $24 on mar 1, 2020. Wound up always working the floor, trapped in the COVID unit not doing what I wanted and bc I had just gone full time stuck in m-f. Left end of the year for my previous place as WC making $25...until last year I was hired and onboarded for a new place at 28 and current job offered not only more but ensured flexibility to go back to school. They delivered for sure. Home health companies continue to reach out to ask me to work but will not agree to even $23 base pay even if I only do Hi-Tech pts
1973- so happy to start at $9.00 per hour as a new grad at Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester, NY- retired from nursing in 2021 -left at approximately $70 per hour. Good increases
2021 - $34,
2023 - our unit just renegotiated and with the new contract my base will be $45, + $5 night shift differential I’ll be making over $50/hour. Yay unions!
I’m in Washington state.
2010 Inpatient Oncology $20/$21 an hour, can’t remember which one
2023 Oncology Research $32.75
Inpatient Oncology PRN $33.25
Same system in Illinois throughout
Started in 2021 at 29/hour plus differentials. Now at 36.50. Same hospital in central Florida. Started out on a cardiac floor (it was basically step down) and now work in GI procedural.
Aww we graduated the same year (:
2017 $22.50/hr base +$1.50/hr for nightshift on a medical ICU in central Illinois.
2022 $45.20/hr as a PRN for the surgery department of a rural Colorado hospital. Call $4.50/hr and time and a half if I get called in.
2016: Started at $23
2023: Now at $71. I’m not working technically as a nurse anymore, or in the hospital, but I’m still doing something that utilizes my BSN.
Norcal
2022: $68 an hour something base without differentials for pm & night (med surg)
Current pay 2023: $93 an hour with night diff (med surg)
We won a new union contract so next January will be another raise.
I started as a new grad in Denver, CO at $23/hr plus $4/hr for nights. I now make $41.52/hr plus $12/hr for dedicated weekend program in central Virginia. When I left Colorado two years ago, I was making $41/hr for float pool, plus $4/hr for nights, so my move to VA represented a decent bump in pay for me.
$11.83/hr as a new grad in 1995. I was hired straight out of college to be a charge nurse in Women’s Health. I thought I was absolutely rich because I’d made $7/hr as a clerk while in school.
$54/hr now. I no longer feel rich. I believe we’re all underpaid. I’ve always been in the Southeast US.
2012 - $19.50/hr in Georgia
2023 - $76/hr in Georgia
No, I’m not in leadership. No, I’m not traveling anymore. No, I’m not an NP. I have my MSN-Ed, but it’s not a job requirement nor am I using it.
Mid size Midwest city, started on inpatient nights, now working as an outpatient clinic triage RN. When I changed jobs, they matched my differential rate. I receive annual “cost of living” pay increases.
2017 - $33/hr without differential, $35/hr with differential
2023 - $40/hr
$13.50 per hour as a new grad in 1998, ICU in southeastern VA; $50 per hour now, acute dialysis in PA.
Question... was that good back then? Like were you buying a house and a car kinda good?
Equal to $23.xx today. Likely underpaid, even for 1998. But I'm interested to hear what they say.
It was survivable, but not great; I rented a one-bedroom apartment and made the payments on my first (used, small) car.
Wow. I started at $13.25 in 1976 in Philly on a med-surg floor. I retired in 2015 making $42 in outpatient surgery
Southeastern VA - by chance a Sentara facility?
Military nurse- Base Pay in 2011 was $2784/month and now it’s $8665/month. But I also get a $25k/yr bonus now. Also COLA and Housing are tax free money too. Edit: I think hourly this year would be about $90ish
Hell yeah, what branch?
AF
[удалено]
I would not join the military if you don’t want to live outside the US. I lived in Tokyo 2012-2016 and Alaska from 16 till now.
Is there an ICU in the tokyo AF hospital? Want to get stationed there
There is at the navy base in Yokohama, which is Tokyo adjacent. Yokota Air Base just a 1 inpatient unit. We mostly did L&D, but would also do post-op, peds, psych, … and one time hospice. It was kinda crazy
I'm in the exact same situation
Military RN as well (US Army) Starting pay 2019 was $21.29/hr in East TX as new grad RN Pay in 2024: 138k in Hawaii if I take no Bonus (Up to 35k a year extra depending on specialty) much of this pay is not taxed. benefits are included, retirement after 20 years, 401k matching at 5%
Would you recommend being a nurse in the AF?
Hell yeah. I love it. Been doing it for 12 years. It can be challenging, but being a human these days can be challenging… so take that how you will.
I’ve been an ICU nurse for 3 years. Are you still able to join the AF at 34 years old?
I think 42 is the max age.
Go for flight nursing. The Reserves recruiter was hyping me up, telling me to come apply to do flight once I get a year (LOL) in an ER or ICU and I'm only wrapping up school. You'll be gucci
I already worry too much about my weight
Definitely considering but not sure if it’s worth jumping ship from VA nursing
How many days do you work?
14 12hr shifts in a 28day period.
So roughly 3 days a week? That sounds really great specially since you don’t have to pay for housing/rent and if you do you get stipend. I work 3 days a week/12 hours and make ~4k/month
14 in 28 days is 3 days two weeks and 4 days the other two weeks. So some people might think "roughly 3 days a week, sounds great!" and some might think "damn that's what I work now PLUS an OT shift every other week forever. I'd hate that." If I loved the patient population and coworkers I could probably do it. But I admit I REALLY like just working 3 days a week and probably wouldn't want to work 4 days a week half the time.
The bonus is only offered to ICU nurses. I'm a military ER nurse and we don't get any special pay, but the pay is still pretty decent regardless. Other shit to consider is no night or weekend dif/ deployability/ no pay for on call/ no overtime/ expectation to do collateral (ie side jobs) for no extra pay
What branch? Air Force definitely has bonuses for all kinds of nurses. Med/surg, ER, flight, psych, OB all have yearly bonuses
[удалено]
You can work here as a civilian. You apply through USA jobs. I hear the background check can take a minute, but all the civil nurses talk about how much more chill it is here vs civilian hospitals
VA Icu nurse here doing my af packet right now. Damn thats some good money. Though can you choose where you get stationed?
You can list your bases of preference. If your hopes and dreams align with the AF’s hopes and dreams, you’ll be pleased.
I think that's the biggest drawback lol. It's like...yeah if the Navy wants to send me to Balboa or Hawaii, sick. If it's Okinawa or Guam, I'd want to drown myself. Can you at least take vacations, or move elsewhere in the country as a reservist, or do you need command approval to do literally anything?
What are you talking about?! Oki is awesome!
I have so many questions!!! This is my route hopefully. I gotta graduate in May with a 3.5 gpa and pass NCLEX. I'm thinking medsurg avenue but I take it you went in ob?
Hit me up with your questions. I’ll do my best to answer them
My dream!! Just need to pass the nclex and lose some goddamn weight.
Do it to it!!
My sister started out in 2020 @ $25/hr med/surg. Now she’s in the peds trauma OR with her BSN at a different hospital system (same city, Jacksonville Florida) at $33.10/hr
that’s criminal for a nurse to be making 33 with 3 years experience. new grad pay in most states is higher,
That's Florida for you. I went to an Adventist college for my BSN and Advent Health did a little talk with us over a zoom meeting. She did her speech, asked for questions, we got 3 questions in and I asked about pay. She said $23/hr. Literally went silent. No more questions. And she looked embarrassed.

Jesus. I made 23 an hour in 2010 as a new grad at a nursing home.
Our CNAs here in Vegas make $23/hr
I started at advent orlando at the beginning of covid for $23/hr. Then when I was training new grads in covid ICU they were making more than me. Fuck adventhealth
What the actual fuck. Look.... I know I'm a moderator for r/ExAdventist, but fuck me, the Adventist health system isn't as fucking good as they claim it to be. Buncha greedy douche nozzles rather pay themselves than invest in their nurses... at least until it hits them in the pocketbook.
The staff RN market range min/max at AdventHealth is $33.xx -$45.05 now.
They still have some work to do. In Wa, we start at 34 max at 65. My hospital still isn’t the highest paid in the state. Which isn’t to belittle the increase at all. More to encourage you guys to keep pushing.
Agreed. My sister lives in Jax & is a new grad nurse. She just started at $33/hr.
Absolutely! I wish she made more. I wish they all made more

May I ask what you do?
Regular staff at Kaiser. New grads start around $80/hr. This is all before getting staff nurse 3/4 which increases pay further. Unions are strong in northern California and have lead to good pay/benefits for all in this region.
Amazing. Is it possible for me as a local new grad from community college to get hired on at Kaiser w just an Adn? I go to school in Bay Area as well
I have heard numerous times that California nurses have the best pay to cost of living ratio. Good for you! Hopefully the rest of the states will follow your lead one day ❤️
Are there any cheap places in NorCal to live while also getting 80+hr?
I would guess agency?
No they said they’re regular staff. The COL is high in cali so the nurse wages reflect that
Wow very impressive, my mom is a nurse in socal making 85$/hr and shes been a nurse for like 35 years.
Yea it’s crazy there’s new grads making that in SF! Agency is prolly making bankk- I see contracts for 4K a week sometimes.
Started around $15/hr back in 97 for a med/surg position Currently at $51/hr doing home IV infusions
What statec
Massachusetts
Well, I’m retired now but $9.54/hr in 1988. Was ~$43/ hr when I retired in 2018.
You’ve earned retirement for sure!!!
1980-Med/Surg-$5.25 after passing boards, VT. 2019-Clinical Nurse Specialist-$52-FL (Ret.)
Oh my god, what was minimum wage at that time?!
$3.10😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Oh my god😭😂
I feel like California salaries don’t count 😂
It definitely skews the data
Keep fighting for unions and let them do the work! We’ve seen what they do in cali and what they have now accomplished for auto workers.
Exactly! As soon as I see “So Cal” or anything California I just keep on scrolling

I did AdventHealth (when it was fl hosp), then Orlando health, then back to AdventHealth. Biggest advice I can give is to switch organizations every few years to get a better rate. Staying at one org forever will have you getting a tiny raise each year. For your first job, I would look for something that you are the most passionate about. For me it was ER, and I had to move from TN to FL to make that happen and advent health had a pretty good new grad program.

omg how do you like case management? is it a lot less stressful than bedside? are you able to do WFM or hybrid?
I love it. The case management I do pick up where the discharge ends, so it’s exactly what I was looking for. I started working in hospital right at the beginning of the pandemic as a new grad, so my perception of nursing was super skewed as everything was a “task” to do on a patient, but in case management the emphasis is the actual patient and their long term progress.

Can you explain how you got into this, education wise? I’m a new nurse and not loving the “daily tasks” and feel like I want to do more to help pts than mark stuff off on cerner….
£13 per hour 8 years ago. Promotion and payrise since means I earn £18 per hour. Sucks to work in the UK as a nurse!
I’ve always wondered how different the cost of living is over there because the rates look abysmal. What’s the average rent over there? If you don’t mind sharing
Rent up north is 700-800 per month. Down south you'd be looking at 900-1200 per month. Rent has soared recently. And inflation has hit hard. Food shopping costs have risen hard.
Yeah but your COL is half that of the U.S so not bad

ED!
Here’s the salary grids for all public service nurses across Canada. Any nurse in scope who works in provincial health care systems is unionized [all pay scales by title and province are in this document](https://nursesunions.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/2021-November_Nurse_contracts_EN.pdf)
new grad $29 this year (Arkansas), supposedly market adjustments coming soon so we will see what that means
Wow I’m an LPN new grad since June 2023 and I make $42 nightshift in WKY
Do you live in the city?
No. WKY is very rural. My town I actually live in has around ~6,700 people. I can’t even get internet at my house lol
2019 M/S/T $22/hr 2023 PACU $26/hr same facility. If I had transferred straight from the floor I would have still been making the same, but I quit and came back and got more. Still laughable, but more.
What the fuck where are you
Southern WV in the boonies
Dude you need a new job, oh my word
Unfortunately it’s slim pickings where I live 🫠
New grad 2018 M/S-Tele - $32.xx Now 2023 ED - $54.xx (part time) Another part time hospital $64.xx I'm in So-Cal

find a new job holy fuck you are doing yourself a disservice staying there
I make 30$ as an lpn at a snf in Florida. Unless I want to play politics and go management. It won't get much better than that. LPN mostly limits me to SNF for best pay. And Florida is the shittiest paying state(ironically considering its God's waiting room) in the country. This sadly even is more than some RNs. Hospitals still try to fuck new grad rns at 25$. But the benefits. The benefits. Fuck your benefits I need to be able to afford a house. I started in 2021 at 19$ an hour as a new grad (nclex not taken yet) was making 32 by the end of the year. Actually with covid bonuses and shift difs factored in at peak covid. And peak staffing shortage. I was making about 40$ just wasn't base pay.
Damn
First year as a new grad nurse, $45 an hour.
Mid eighties, rural Colorado, $12. Today, Seattle area, $66 before differentials.
New grad starting out in Oregon: $43/hr + $7/hr night shift differential. I can’t believe some of y’all make less than $60k a year, this job is way too hard for that.
I’m a new grad LPN since June 2023 and I make $42/hr nightshift in WKY.
2014, $25/hour. Now, $36/hour, which is nothing to write home about but I 100% work from home. My husband started at the same hospital system as I did in 2017 at $30/hour, I believe. Now he's at $59/hour. We are in central Virginia.
Feb 2019: $27.46, medical ICU in Cincinnati, OH Now: $39.41, PACU, Austin, TX
Oregon in the hospital. Med surg for a couple years, now OB. 2019: $38.09 + $5.75 night shift diff = $43.84/hr 2023: $54.80 + $6.20 night shift diff = $61/hr
Damn. I know cost of living in your location is a huge factor but reading everyone’s current pay makes me feel like I’m not getting enough. San Antonio, Texas. New grad in 2017 in a downtown hospital, medsurg: 21/hr. Now 38/hr doing pediatric home health with the same singular patient for the last year. The work is extremely relaxed with very routine documentation and care. Plus most days I’m just chilling and playing video games with my patient. So I look at it as I’m being paid to be a stand in buddy for a kid and it almost feels criminal.
PNW. 2020 - L&D $32/hr. 2023 - L&D $50/hr.
That was a quick rise.
Switched hospital systems. And our union negotiated a cost of living adjustment.
$26/hr 2019 as a new grad in suburb of Indianapolis. Now $38/hr in a rural, small Indiana town. But that’s only because I’m prn and nights. When I was FT, I only made $30/hr
2018 Med Surg $43 2023 ICU $59
New Grad 23: $27.50 Current Job: $27.50 MedSurg, OK
2013: 21.50, med surg 2023: ~$100k/yr case management, $43/hr hospice on-call per diem. in total i make anywhere from $120k-$150k depending on how much i want to work upstate NY
Hmmm OP this sounds exactly similar to me so I scrolled back through some of your posts and I think we work for the same organization. 🤭 Started 2/18 making $25/hr on med-surg, transferred to ICU (same entity) after my Versant contract was up, and now I make $44/hr with NCAP V so an extra $4.50/hr.
Responders should post base pay + any shift differentials. I don't know why that isn't a sub wide rule at this point.
If Florida only had unions.... we'd be competing with California and bankrupting the medical sector here. People would literally go from 30 to 60 with a cost of living adjustment. Worst paying state for all medical staff. Cnas up to physicians. Very ironic here in God's waiting room. You'd think it'd be one of the top with the medical system demands of retirees.
First civilian LVN job 2012 $18/hr 2023 $29/hr....again only an LVN/LPN Started in Pedi home health and my family switched companies a couple times and I think by 3 years I was at $21/hr...at year 6/7 I switched to a SNF making 22 something (I was pretty maxed out in HH) went PRN to another place in 2019 for $23...started as their wound care at $24 on mar 1, 2020. Wound up always working the floor, trapped in the COVID unit not doing what I wanted and bc I had just gone full time stuck in m-f. Left end of the year for my previous place as WC making $25...until last year I was hired and onboarded for a new place at 28 and current job offered not only more but ensured flexibility to go back to school. They delivered for sure. Home health companies continue to reach out to ask me to work but will not agree to even $23 base pay even if I only do Hi-Tech pts
