Hmmm. I am making less than a CNA and I have been an LPN for 9 yrs. I need to step back into my old job.
With today’s growing economy “Pains”- the money can be nice,but it is not worth it when 1 nurse has to do the work of 2-3 people.(leaning more on the end of 3. The mentality of so called upper management just doesn’t get it . They’ve taken the Care out of Caring-and trust me after 37+ years it’s long past “Tiring”- I am “Hopeful” that someday Nurses will stand united and stop the Back-biting we are patient advocates and there for them, not the Adm or the Docs. Power to the NURSES!!! Right on!!
Staff RN positions at our local hospitals are not nearly in this pay range – actually about $10 an hour LESS even for nurses with 20 years experience. Some specialty units pay more. Physicians offices pay about $20 an hour for RNs. Large regional medical centers might be paying this … but the average RN in North Carolina is not making this kind of money. This misleading information colors the public’s perception of us when we DO ask for more money. I’ve basically made the same hourly pay for the past 10 years, despite moving between 3 states. The last hospital I worked did not even pay time-and-a-half on holidays (to ANY nursing staff). After 20 years of working with a BSN degree, I got my MSN and FNP in an effort to increase my income.
I agree with Kathy, the pay range is about $10.00/hour high for here in Central Illinois also.
About $6 – 10. too high compared to rates in VA. Where did they get these figures?
I work in a hospital setting in LA an a LPN. LPN’s are required to do the majority of the nursing skills that an RN do however we make half to a third of the RN salary.
What gets me more, is when I am an LPN on a floor working with a MSN and I have to teach her the job.This chaps my you know what! I just don’t get it! I think education is great, however in this field, experience should count for something as well.
I agree with everyone, the salaries listed are much higher than any in this area as well. NW Florida is one of the lower paid areas in Florida for nurses to begin with, and this list really makes us look like we make MUCH more than we do. We are not even close to the average unless in a specialty for many years. Hospital staff of course pays more than office work usually, but when I left the hospital to go back to the office I actually got a raise in my base pay, but still lower than the national average. I only wish I made what the charts show.
I noticed they only show the coastal states. I know for a fact the midwest and mountain state RNs don’t make the kind of money being published here. While cost of living is higher in the coastal states this article should include a more accurate portrayal of wages across the US.
What do Cnas have to do to get more money per hour? We must refuse the minimum or first salary offered to us when interviewing or move on to another company. Only when we have respect for ourselves will anyone else have respect for us and pay us what we deserve.
If you look at each of the listings they start with the highest and move to the lowest in about 10….. I believe these lists consist of the ‘top ten’ in each category. California doesn’t even make the list until the RN listings. And, although I just graduated and acquired my RN, I will be making close to what is listed. I think the list is accurate in showing the highest paid of these positions (top ten). Hope that helps!
