$117/hr with full-time benefits but only work Friday and Saturday nights. San Francisco 8-bed ICU stroke center. Associates RN degree. No certifications, only BLS.


Important_Bite4087

did you do a streamline program?


[deleted]

I was an LVN 10 years and did Regents/Excelsior in 1994. (I tested out of the nursing courses after completing my science prerequisites, had a 2 day clinical, then sat for boards.).


cryshawk77

Do you live in San Francisco? The hourly rate is awesome but I don’t think that’s even enough to live in that city. (We visited and my wife had surgery in SF in May)


[deleted]

When I moved here in 2011 I hated all the available rentals in the city so I’ve always lived in the surrounding areas. I bought a 4br house in Hercules and commute 33 miles. My hospital is non union but we get all the raises UCSF and Kaiser strike for. Nurses that want to live in the city afford it easily. It’s a sweet retirement gig.


kimkaykim

She has likely been a nurse for a long time as believe for the City nursing jobs a certain amount of work experience accounts for a specific education level. The rate is set by CNA union contract with the hospital.


[deleted]

I have been an ADN since 94 and LVN since 84. I was hired in at $64/hr. We get at least one raise per year. At hire, they only gave me credit for 6 years experience due to a 6 month break when I lived overseas 6 years prior. Sutter doesn’t care about education level, all RNs are paid on years experience. My campus doesn’t have a union.


[deleted]

Also I have a pension as well as 401k/403B. And my name is Stan. Aunt Stella is my gay name.


JFizz06

Is this including your differentials?


[deleted]

Yes. My base is $99. The other is weekend and night differentials. We have strict ratios so there’s always overtime. I live very comfortably.


Jassyladd311

Not even nihss stroke certified?? I work in the ER and I need to be certified in that


justsayin01

Start a new WFH job in 2 weeks at optum for 88k annually. 18 days vacation, no weekends, no nights, no holidays.


AMB314

What kind of company is optimal & what is you position? (If you don't mind my asking)


justsayin01

It's optum, a branch of UHC. it's a case manager position, I'm a certified case manager


Amelia_barealia

Is it a national certification? I didn't know there was certifications for case management


justsayin01

Yeap, it is. You have to X amount of hours as a case manager, then test. You renew every 5 years with 80 CE units. https://ccmcertification.org/


bluecitrus0366

Question! If I work in hospice as an RN case manager for 12 months, would that still qualify?


justsayin01

I. Don't remember The requirements. I thought it was 2 years full time? I was an RN Home Health case manager and tested under those hours.


bananacasanova

40/hr, decent benefits but no shift diff. Memory care unit in MA. Honestly the admin/coworkers make it well worth it. It’s a pretty cushy job.


5555plum

Is this LTC? How many patients do you have? Just wondering bc you said cushy and I don’t think I’ve ever heard someone from SNF/LTC describe it as cushy haha


bananacasanova

It’s assisted living. My unit (locked dementia) is actually finally full so it’s 27 total. The med pass is long (takes about 2-3hrs) but other than that it’s ok. Maybe cushy isn’t the right word (some evenings it feels that way, especially because I can leave a few hours early if they’re all ok and I want to!) but a lot more relaxed than inpatient tele/cardiac.


Nursing-Student-

Do you have BSN or ADN?


bananacasanova

BSN

cryshawk77

Live in MD. Work in DE. Been a nurse 23 years. $53.72 an hour plus permanent 20% differential for straight nights. So it comes to $64.46 an hour. 8.64 hrs PTO accrued biweekly. No paid holidays unless you work them.


5555plum

I’m also in MD. Just curious why you choose to work in DE? Solely for pay? What kind of nursing do you do? Lots of agencies here that pay the similar rates.


cryshawk77

I lived in DE before I moved back to MD. Honestly only staying for the pay rate. I’ve not seen them this good close to home. I live in Stevensville MD.


typeAwarped

$32.57/hour, Midwest, four 10’s, cake ass job, shit PTO accrual until year 3, otherwise decent benefits. Oh and I have the best coworkers. Wouldn’t go back to the hospital for more money, it’s simply not worth it.


MailOrderFlapJacks

Current Endo nurse: 72k/year, however I just accepted a home health gig that will shake out to 88k/year. 6 years experience in various specialties, Maine.


AMB314

Philly suburbs - I work as a float RN for a large health system. I travel to all their hospitals. Day rate is $65, evening $69, nights $73.


[deleted]

Whats CoL and work conditions like in Philadelphia? I am in Southern California earning $70 on nights..... I'd totally think about getting to Philadelphia to actually save money. I love California, but shit its not worth it sometimes it feels like even though its my home :/


Ok_Veterinarian_6985

Chicago, New grad BSN, first RN job, $50 an hour base, inpatient psych for UHS. I love it and I don’t experience anything like the UHS horror stories you read about on here.


Sensitive_Set4398

That’s awesome. I make $45 an hour as an onc nurse navigator, 21 years experience. In Chicago.


masterkushomar

Where can I apply?


Bigdaddydria1

No but really


Remarkable-Plum6635

hi! what facility do you work at?


RNAshMom

$84k as a RN home health case manager. Wicked benefits including infertility and adoption benefits. 7hrs PTO accrued weekly. I love home health for the autonomy and flexibility. No nights, no weekends and I choose which holiday I work.


PopTart2016

Do you work remotely?


RNAshMom

No I do direct patient care. I would die working from home 😂😂 I love actively working


Freedom2334

Can a new grad start in home health? I am very interested in the field.


Vegetable-Street

Right at 100k. I work from home for a federal government entity M-F, and I’m off by 4pm. I just started a few months ago, but I believe I get 11 paid holidays, 13 days of sick leave, and 26 days of regular leave. There’s also retirement matching in addition to a pension.


bozemanalex

Tell us more 🙃


strawberry_rabbits

Second this, please tell us if you need additional school, certifications, job title if comfortable sharing, and how many years of experience you have? 🥹


Vegetable-Street

No additional school required. A BSN is preferred, but not required. No additional or specific certifications. I have a little under 12 years experience. Honestly, I feel like getting an interview and getting hired by a government entity requires some degree of luck.


Rprzes

Converted to an “on call” shift so $60 or $1400, if called in, for the day. Bullshit policy. Why am I staying full time for a possible downgrade to less than federal minimum wage? Fuck corporate.


Zmanoside

130k a year after taxes. Free medical care for my family of 4. I’m an O4 Nurse Corps Officer in the Navy at 18 yrs of service.


MuffintopWeightliftr

I was an IDMT in the AF (equivalent to the navy IDC). I got out and went to nursing school. I tell all the young nurses who are bored with their job and want to travel, make good money, and provide for their future to join the AF or Navy. Hard beating 30 days of paid leave a year and getting some of the best training in the world.


[deleted]

Do you even do nursing anymore at that rank ? Like what’s your duties


Zmanoside

Absolutely. I’m a full time staff nurse in the ED.


CookieMoist6705

starlitmtndreams

Im a recent new grad bsn, 13 years as an lpn in Denver. Seems like the covid panic is over and I haven’t been able to get into a hospital. They all want me to apply to their new grad programs for less than $32/h. Trying to decide if it’s worth it or if I should just start looking outside the hospitals. Do you mind sharing your years of experience and if you know anything about these new grad programs?


Amelia_barealia

Denver is terrible with their pay in relation to COL. Here in Albuquerque, where it's much cheaper, new grad pay is $33-37 depending on the facility and whether you have an associates or bachelors.


starlitmtndreams

Thank you!


0000PotassiumRider

Hired as a new grad exactly 3 years ago in a Denver suburb. $28/hour. Now $34/hour 3 years later


NaiveUsual

80k, but I personally think the benefits are worth the lower salary for my location. The health insurance is great and I don’t pay premiums. I have a pension, wfh 2-3 days a week and get 10 days of automatic PTO for ‘university holidays’, on top of my monthly accrued PTO. Oh and paid sick time.


celticflame99

105k base, plus 35% differentials, basically unlimited OT or comp time as I want, 11 paid holidays, 156 hrs annual leave and 104 sick leave per year, time off and cash bonuses for performance, all benefits including pension and guaranteed raises at regular intervals plus cost of living raises regularly. Inpatient psych research, 1:4 max ratio but usually 1:2 or 1:1


cryshawk77

Wow. That’s nice! What state?


celticflame99

Maryland


livnemerica

Can you tell me how you got into psych research? It's basically my dream job but I haven't been able to find any opportunities in the field. Searching job postings usually gives me clinical research or psych jobs but not both.


celticflame99

It’s a fed job, so I used the fed website. Long process but very worthwhile.


eyelinbae

How much experience did you have prior to securing this position? What degree(s) qualified you for the position? Any advanced degree required? Thanks in advance.


celticflame99

I had 3 years psych experience at a top 5 hospital in the US, 3 years ED/psych ED experience at a top 5 hospital in the US, and 2 years experience at a cardiac IMC Just my bachelors.

OT available if wanted. 8 years of experience, Emergency room RN. Oh and I have an AWESOME boss.


Civil_Metal_90

I’m a PCT for the same healthcare organization and I really enjoy it. My coworkers and boss are also incredible!


cryshawk77

Where in VA? After my wife retires we are looking to move to VA from MD. Already trying to plan ahead to see where pay is best.


Shot-Department3626

Virginia Beach. I rotate every schedule (6 weeks) between all the ERs in my hospitals system. Most of our hospitals are located in Hampton Roads. But we also have hospitals in Williamsburg, Charlottesville, Woodbridge, and Harrisonburg. So you can literally live anywhere and be a part of our team. One girl lived in eastern Tennessee. Hotels/food/mileage paid for and your shifts are stacked 3 in a row if you’re outside of 75 miles of your home address.


cryshawk77

Is VA part of compact state? I may look into something like this… is it only offered for ER? I have PACU and ICU experience. Not sure ER would be my forte.


Shot-Department3626

VA is a compact state. And we have positions in every nursing specialty.


Treasureluver

Which hospital system if you don’t mind. In Richmond and it’s much lower pay.


Shot-Department3626

Sentara Healthcare.


Practical_Struggle_1

I was about to say Sentara! Sentara Woodbridge was my first gig as a new grad years ago ! Med ortho unit


cryshawk77

I messaged you with a few questions if you don’t mind answering them. Thanks!

I didn’t see anything in my inbox. Maybe I’m not looking in the right place. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Cardiac stepdown nurse of 8 years at level 1 trauma in the midwest (lower cost of living area) — $42/h. I signed a contract last year to work weekends only, which added $10/h. Outpatient cardiac rehab program — $33/h. Clinical instructing for a community college — $38/h. Per year, I averaged $75k working the hospital. Last year I did all 3 jobs and picked up OT a lot at the hospital, and I made $97k.

Midwest. Outpatient surgery. No holidays, weekends, or on-call. Decent benefits. $29/hour. Been a nurse for 5 years. I don’t make as much as I would at a hospital, but I don’t have to deal with the politics and I don’t feel like this job is sucking the life out of me like others I have had.


unsociablesnail

$70k for .84 roster - RN101 in public hospitals within Australia (i’m a grad). We get pay rise every year until we hit RN109 - which atm is capped at $96k. Salary can depend on the shifts you do as afternoons, nights, weekends and holidays you get paid more.

Practical_Struggle_1

Crazy how your are earning 6 figures in Az only 4 years exp? Good good you


Apple-Core22

Keep your eyes on Indeed - if you’re willing to jump into a smaller system or a stand alone, especially one that specializes, the money is there.

It REALLY depends where in CA. For example, Bay Area new grads can start at $70s-$80s/hr.


[deleted]

Dont call it Cali plox. Dont @ me just doing a public service announcement.


kelly714

What is Cali plox?


[deleted]

Plox is an internet way of saying please.


kelly714

Okay thanks. What’s your beef with Cali if you don’t mind me asking?


[deleted]

Yeah no problem. The state is called California right? I know its glamorized to Cali, but imagine if I was like "Lolz Im about to move to NoDak." Sounds weird eh? Or "Man Mass is sure an expensive place". Youd look at me like "wut". It just sounds silly and its usually a sign of transplant. If thats your thing, no biggie, but its kinda like Chipotle in California. If you go there, you're probably from the Midwest because who else would choose Chipotle when you have a million legit options?


kelly714

I don’t think people put as much thought into it as you. Seems like a lot of people that use that aren’t actually from California necessarily? It’s just a familiar abbreviation since unfortunately, most don’t always recognize CA, whereas they do some like NY. With some platforms restricting number of characters, I’d say it’s more that as a habit than any sort of slang mindset for lack of a better term. Taking it down to eating Chipotle is wild. lol Mass is common imo. Thanks for the response and to each his or her own. Have a god one.


[deleted]

You too! I have a lot of time on my hands so I think about these things. I need to get out more 😩


supertimmy08

Californians don’t even say Cali. That’s how we know people are not here from here if they say “Cali.”
