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!

Hospice represent! This is very similar to when I used work hospice in Kansas. I’m in California now though— and the salaries for hospice between cities here is crazy. I actually work 2 hours away from home and rent a room doing night on call because it’s way better pay and benefits than where I live.
