[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not in this area:  $48/hr, 12 hr shifts, $4/hr shift for nocs, $3/hr for weekends. Ratios and a union.

That said:  please realize that nursing consists of often conflicting, chaotic and somewhat unpredictable duties. A lot of people who come into nursing because they hunk the money is good will leave. Most of the men I know make poor nurses on the floor, but those who managed to stay are awesome.

In the course of one shift I have been: bitten and kicked by a trauma neuro pt, puked on, cleaned up massive heme positive diarrhea, bathed a patient whose skin and dirt was peeling off in sheets, coded the diarrhea patient, started three ivs on the neuro pt and gotten an admit at change of shift.

If you don't think you can deal, think twice about nursing. There is a reason we make so much and t has to do with holding someone's life in our hands. [/quote]

Please, what area of the country are you in? How many years of experience do you have as an RN and what is your schooling level? Are you an ICU nurse Thnx.[/quote]
