First Survey to Look at Non-Bedside / Non-Clinical Nursing Salaries in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

Pathway Medical Staffing recently released the first annual RN Salary Survey of Non-Clinical / Non-Bedside Nurses.  While there are several published surveys that detail salary trends for nurses, few look at the registered nurse subset in  non-clinical / non-bedside nursing.

This survey examines salaries for experienced registered nurses placed in case management, appeals/denials, utilization review, quality improvement and clinical documentation improvement (CDI) positions, specifically in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The data analyzed in the survey is drawn from documented base salary data for hundreds of registered nurses in these specific non-bedside nursing positions.

2010 Registered Nurse Salary Survey Highlights:

“Average salary in 2009 for a non-clinical / non-bedside registered nurse in the New York Metro area was $83,592.  This is trending upward as of the first quarter 2010.”

“More experience in non-clinical nursing does not always equate to a higher salary.”

“Registered nurse salaries in utilization review, quality improvement and appeals / denials all increased by more than 14% in 2009.”

“Director level salaries in non-clinical / non-bedside nursing were down 30% in 2009 and the trend appears to be continuing in 2010.”

“Non-clinical / non-bedside registered nurses with ‘work at home’ jobs earned an average of $68,000 per year.”

“Registered nurses with a higher level educational degree (BSN, MSN, PhD) earned up to 6.4% more than registered nurses with an associates degree or a diploma in nursing.”

“Registered nurses in non-clinical / non-bedside roles at hospitals earned an average of 5% more than their counterparts working for managed care organizations in 2009.”
