I'm planning to move to the Chattanooga area soon and wondered what the pay scale is for RNs. Also, are most of the jobs in nursing homes/assisted living, or hospitals, or Dr. offices? Do they mostly have 12 hours shifts, or are they 8 hour shifts? Any info on nursing work would be helpful. Thanks.

Have you tried contacting the hospitals in the area directy? The two major providers in the area are Erlanger and Memorial. There might also be information on their respective websites.

Good luck! You're in one of those professions that is always hiring and is much appreciated.

Thanks, Grizzlybear 34. I did check the hospital websites and it seems Erlanger needs lots of nurses! Didn't find any info on salary, but will keep checking various sources. Thanks much. Weezie

Whereas I don't have salary information, I can say that based on the company and type of nursing work, the salaries can vary.

The hospitals do have different shifts available. I have a friend that works as an X-Ray tech and she works two 16 hour shifts on the weekends only. This allows her to get credit for a full 40 hour shift and be off Monday-Friday. She has 2 small children so this works out great for her. I believe they also have this same schedule available for nursing.

You might also check with careerbuilder.com for the Chattanooga area and see what is available through that site.

Blessings to you and have a great day! Hope this information is helpful.

Thanks for the tips. I am really excited about moving down south. I did find out about wages in a general way. I'm coming down in Sept and will talk to employers then. Planning to move in Oct. Thanks again for your input. Weezie

Weezie there are about 4 or 5 hospitals in a 40 mile radius. I spoke with a ARNP at Erlanger. There are alot of nursing jobs up there. Do you have a speciality?
