How Often do Nurses Get Paid?
Registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and licensed vocational nurses are usually paid weekly or biweekly. It’s not uncommon to see some nursing jobs (especially state jobs) where staff is paid on a monthly schedule.
What’s the Most Common Pay Schedule For Nurses?
The most common pay schedule for nurses is most likely a biweekly pay schedule. It’s important to note that it’s not the only pay schedule you will see for nurses.
Many state nursing jobs are paid on a monthly pay schedule, and you can also find nursing jobs that pay on a weekly pay schedule.
Ultimately, the individual company determines this, though some pay schedules are more common in certain circumstances.
If you prefer a particular pay schedule, you’ll need to talk to HR before accepting a nursing job to see how they handle payments.
