From my research that is way above the average hourly pay for that role. It does depend on location but I would say you are doing pretty well. The average pay for that role is less than $40 per hour.

That’s good depending on the area you live in. I work SNF which is one of the higher paying roles and don’t make nearly that much.

The Nashville area is crazy with pricing and the salaries here do not keep up with the cost of living. Some of the salaries are laughable. I live in Franklin and mortgage and rents are out of control!

I make $38/hr as an RN in labor and delivery, so it's a lot better than how I'm doing. Are you in a high cost of living area? I'm in a mid-size city so I've felt like I'm doing pretty good at 38 but now I feel like I should be making more.

You really need to state where this is. Is varies quite a bit depending on location.

Exactly. In CA this would be close to 100/hr

Sounds great!

This sounds about right for the area I live. Does this include a shift differential?

Depends on the area you live in. In CA union nurses expect $65-99+. Non union $42-60. Bigger cities pay more, 10-15%. But it is not uncommon for someone to make less than 100k in parts of CA. Even with union dues, the pay rate is attractive. And the protection to keep your job is great. Know a lady who would be fired by now if she had pulled the stunts that she has and kept her job.
