@mapmypay: These are RN wages under the UFCW Local 7 Multi-Professional contract with Kaiser Permanente Colorado. One scale covers the general RN grade across the region, and a few higher-paid RN grades sit beside it. The scale applies only to RNs in this union at Kaiser Colorado. Kaiser Colorado LPNs work under a separate SEIU Local 105 contract, and RNs at other Colorado hospitals are paid on their own scales. The signed contract prints rates only through October 2024. These figures apply the two 6.5% raises in the new agreement, from March and October 2026, to that printed scale, so the rate may differ by a few cents. Those two raises moved the whole scale about 13% in seven months. A new RN this month starts above the $48.75 that a Kaiser Colorado RN with two years earned in late 2024. How the October 2026 scale breaks down: 💵 Start: $49.15/hr (about $102K a year at 40 hours) 💵 2 years: $55.29/hr 💵 5 years: $63.17/hr 💵 15 years: $73.40/hr (about $153K a year) 🌙 Nights add $5.25 an hour, so a 15-year RN on nights earns $78.65. 🪜 Career Ladder 3 adds up to $5.51 an hour at the top step. 🩺 Nurse practitioners start at $67.19 an hour, about $140K a year. The typical RN in the US earns $46.90 an hour. Every step on this scale clears that, even though Kaiser Colorado still pays well below the top California contracts. If you earn less than this, you are not behind. You are on a different contract in a different place. Denver-area rent is the fair pushback. Map My Pay data puts average rent in Aurora at $1,689 a month, so a new Kaiser RN who rents there keeps close to $55,700 a year after taxes and rent.
