Salaries do vary by region, and Nursing has always paid very low in Florida. But TVRH is exceptionally low.
I agree that hospitals need to compensate the experienced among us in order to assure excellent care today and tomorrow. There is no way to place a monetary value on an experienced, well seasoned bedside RN. And as a RN I want to work with others who are also experienced so that newer nurses can be mentored and draw upon the experience of the team as a whole.
Experienced nurses are working because they love the career AND because they need/want the paycheck. If they are not compensated fairly, they will leave, choosing instead a hospital that values (pays) them more.
That is the cold hard truth!
Sad state of affairs at TVRH.

The well seasoned bedside RN is being pushed aside by cheaper,
computerside staff who have grown up with their eyeballs screwed into a computer and smart phone screen, and typing with their thumbs.
Actually, a robot is what is demanded by this growing (nation-wide) "System".....Not a thinking, caring human being.
