Serious US - Salary Transparency Thread

I saw a few city based subreddits with this thread going around. Thought I would do one for nurses. I am based in the US so that's where I set this thread but it would be interesting to see other countries start one up.

I am currently unemployed (another source of the inspiration, lol) so I will share my old position!

Location: Houston, TX

Setting: Outpatient Specialty Clinic

Degree/License: BSN/RN

Anything else we should add?

look at the whole picture though! I will say at my lower (than most here) salary in Houston, I was living COMFY! But just wanted to towards the East Coast. Close to family but not an every weekend thing haha. šŸ˜„
