You could probably make as much on the floor as you do in your office, maybe more if the nurse gets paid per hour and works overtime, but you would be working on the floor and not in an office. Also, your administrative pay schedule most likely advances quicker than an hourly pay scale. As a salaried employee, you get paid for the job and not for the time it takes to do it. That means if you can get your 8-5 work done between 9 and 4, you can -- unless your supervisor says otherwise. By the same token, if something happens and you need to come in at 6 a.m. and can't leave til 6 p.m., it sucks to be you. If you like the stress, pressure, satisfaction, etc. of being on the floor, ask to go back. If you want to embrace the challenges of management and administration, welcome aboard.
Very well spoken
Floor nurses rack in insane amounts of money. Nurses are very valuable so their pay is naturally higher due to being in high demand. Couple that with overtime and it’s not uncommon that they make more then administration.
Just curious - this was your on-boarding time period payment. Is it possible that the hourly wage for that first payment was lower than what your real "work" wage will be on your next pay period and into the future?

Hi, I would not come to them right after accepting what I assume is a promotion and ask for more. Personally, I’d focus on learning the new job, doing a bang up job and a year from now addressing it directly your performance review with your boss. If that doesn’t sit well, I’d at least wait 6 months and tee it up as something you’d like to address in the future.
I have seen this many times! For the amount of extra responsibility, it is not fair. Unfortunately, I do not think there is much you can do about it after you have accepted the salary.
