Registered Nurses enjoy the most lucrative salary benefits package at which type of hospital setting non profit government operated or for profit?

Answer 1

THERE REALLY ARE TOO MANY variables to make an accurate, blanket, "one answer fits all". It depends on how long they have worked there, their duties (floor nurse vs floor nursing supervisor), and the size of the hospital. Also the state in which they work also makes a difference.. hospitals in the south, like N. Carolina, S. Carolina, Georgia, Florida and others, make less per hour than hospitals in the northeast, such as Connecticut, Massachucetts, New York etc...Also, it depends on the nurses qualifications. Many nurses further their education past R.N., and have higher college degrees than others. And I think that skilled nurses that work in say, the trauma unit make more than a regular unit nurse. Also, skilled psychiatric nurses also make a little bit more per hour, as do nurses that work in hospitals that have a good UNION. When nurses reach retirement, their retirement pay in government, unionized hospitals, are based on how many years they have worked, as well as how many HOURS they have worked. Someone that does a lot of overtime, have bigger retirement packages.
