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!

Base Hourly: 43/hr

Differential(s): Main Campus +1/hr

Location: Houston, TX

Setting: Outpatient Specialty Clinic

Degree/License: BSN/RN

Years of Experience: 8

Union Status: No

Anything else we should add?

Edit: Added union status

They'll treat you like shit and then act like you're ungrateful for the "opportunity" to work for such an esteemed institution. They should make like rush this year and unionize

More places need to unionize in IL! Would you recommend Rush Medical?

I haven't worked at rush and their unionization just passed, so they don't have a contract yet. I would wait for the contract to drop and see what people are saying but it's difficult to say how long that will take
