Sutter Health Nurse Pay and Benefits Remain Industry Leaders

A nurse who works full-time at a Sutter Health hospital that has a contract with the California Nurses Union earns:

• An average of $136,000 per year
• An employer-paid pension plan worth $84,000 per year, on average, in retirement
• Up to 40 paid days off per year
