Yeah I was about to say if you are not a brand new grad and still making less than 70k as a nurse(working full time).....you need to start job searching NOW cause you are being grossly underpaid.
This board is always wrong with salaries. I work for the largest healthcare provider in Louisiana. It is rare for our nurses to make over 70k in a year

Musicians used to carry a lot more womanizing clout than they do now. Especially cover band guys.

Well Louisiana is notorious for paying their nurses shitty(especially in Baton Rouge).
Not like Louisiana is this great beacon for great healthcare anyways though so what can you expect.
I'm not wrong with salaries. In AZ non new grad nurses easily make 75-90K. That's for a single job and not working overtime. Add a second nursing registry job or working overtime and a nurse can make 95-100K.

Are you talking about a standard RN?

Making 70k is possible, but extremely rare. Multiple OT shifts, weekends, nights, holidays, and being in a trauma unit would have to be done

Our starting salary is about $22 an hour. You can look forward to huuuuuuuuuge $0.50 raises every other year or so

College Professors
Pretty sure that most college professors make more than 70k/year.

You are basically a glutton for punishment if you stay working as an RN in LA and don't have strong family ties there. Not when you can easily go one state over(that doesn't have THAT much a difference in cost of living) and make SOOOO much more. At least Texas pays their nurses decently.

If they work 1000 hours of OT maybe
No, 36hrs base hoss..
For example in Dallas...
Full time New Grad RN works 12hour shift.
Base $27/hr 7am-3pm
Shift diffs evening 3pm-7pm - $3/hr
Night shift diffs 7pm-7am - $6/hr
Weekend diff 1.5 time pay
Every nurse on every shift gets some form of shift differential.
I'd say 99% of nurses have to work a Friday /Saturday Sunday at least one day a week or at least 1 day per pay period depending on the facility.
So you can see that "base" $27/hr really isn't the true base rate.
Nurses who work nights and or weekends are doing OK. And I'm not factoring in OT.
This is for a brand new grad, RN's with 10yrs experience are making $100k base pay with diffs.

They got rid of evening shift diffs at my hospital. Most units the nurses work only 12s (7-7) so they only pay night shift diff now...that starts at 7pm and ends at 7am.
Yeah...the day nurses were NOT happy when they took away the evening diff cause they were used to at least 4 hours of extra pay.

I agree.....the 20-somethings with no kids love it. They party and travel on their 4-5 days off every week.

I've worked nights as a nurse for 15 years now.
I love working nights. And most every bedside or direct patient care nurse working in a hospital is going to have to work the occasional weekend/holiday. Part of the territory when you work in a place that never closes.
It's really not so bad. Working 3 12s you still get 4 days off a week. I wouldn't want to give up having days off during the week to not work every weekend. Having 4 days off each week >>>>>>>>>>> than a 9-5 M-F job.

So tell me again why nurses across America are always going on strike?
