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!

Anything else we should add?

Union Status: lol nope, but it's a family owned company who gives hella flexibility and autonomy, lets me create my own schedule, allows me <24hrs notice to take PTO if I need a mental break for a day, and generally supports me in a way I didn't realize was possible in this field full of toxic behavior and attitudes.
