San Diego doesn't pay as much as other areas but it's a nice place to live. Not too cheap however. Check out the websites of the hospitals around here. Go to Sharp.com and Scripps.com (Scripps Mercy is in Downtown San Diego) There are several Scripps Hospitals and several Sharp ones too. Kaiser Permanente (san Diego) Also there is Paradise Valley in National City. There is also the UCSD hospital in Downtown and they have a website too. Good luck!

Thanks, I've visited those websites and found that there are plenty of job options. Do you have any idea what the range of hourly pay is for a nurse in San Diego? I saw a posting for San Fran that listed the pay at about 42-56 per hour. How much less are San Diego hospitals paying? Thanks again!!!!

SF might pay more, but the cost of living is ridiculous in SF.....just something to think about

Yeah I know tha cost of living is significantly more in SF but I'm trying to get a base because my husband will going to school full time and I'm trying to establish some sort of budget. He will not be working and I will be our only source of income. So hence the requests for hourly base pay. I know they are approximate but it will help give me an idea of a yearly income. Thanks!! P.S. I currently live in New Mexico and that's why the inforamtion would also be helpful.

I'm still a student, but from what my instructors told me $25-27/hr is about what new grads are starting at.....so that may be a baseline for you....of course that's all hearsay, maybe someone else can pitch in with some real numbers....good luck to ya....

No way!! I've been out of school a while - I'm an RN now but when I graduated from LPN school here, starting salary was about 12.00 an hour. Of course, we live in Louisiana, and that is nothing to brag about!!!

Hi, i know that ucsd med center follows the CNA union pay rates. a new grad will start around $31-32 an hour. a CNII is anyone with more than 6 months experience will start at base $33 and of course bases are higher depending on years of experience that you come in with. Differentials are around $3.85 for nights and $2.80 for weekends (thus, 3.85+2.80 for weekend nights). hope this helps.
