I am a school nurse with 37 years as an RN. I get paid $30/h as a part-time nurse. I retired making $35/h. Keep in mind, I work 10 months and have weekends and holidays off with great hours. Now I work Mon-Thurs 9a-2p Hospital nurses make a good bit more

Where are you in NC? Seems to me pay is associated with larger networks. I was at a peak at ten years but when I left ICU/ER to go to a clinic level of care the salary went down so I decided to add teaching to the role which adds value. I think the size and affiliation network determines salary. THoughts?

You should try other companies. Im sure you’ll get a higher pay +10$ maybe? if not they will only give .50 - 1$ increase every year 😅😅😅
