I work for MaineHealth (not at MMC) and I make $37.50 with 6 years experience. Nursing pay isn't great in Maine, but it's still better than most of the South. My base pay here is about the same as I was making in VT, but MaineHealth doesn't have a per diem differential, which used to be $10/hr for me ☹️. And I definitely miss being in a union.

Interesting thread.
