Yes. That is what I am saying. And I work at the lowest paying hospital in the area. I believe Kaiser starts them at 65.

Edit-odinson, so are docs compensated at all based on where they live eg. Reimbursements? I would love to know but don't talk money with my mds.

The short answer is yes. Medicare/Medicaid/private insurance reimbursements all vary depending on geographical locations. When you get into hospital base, private practice, fee schedules, RVUs etc, etc....that's where all the salary discrepancies also comes into play.

Does jennBN do math? Even if Cali nurses are starting at 61/hr which they aren't according to my travel rates....and I negotiate them weekly as a clinical director with a top 3 staffing agency throughout the country....there is not one nurse paid out of 2400 on staff who cleared more than 152k.

Nurses work 36 hrs a week at 61=2162 per week

That's 105k per year:....sucking the life out OT and they'd have to work 3 ot shifts a week to even get remotely close to 200k.

So in conclusion Cali nurses are getting paid but they arent even close to making 250k....the top 10% in Cali are making between 140-155 per our metrics.
