Emerald that is awesome! i wanted to work in philly, but my hubby is here in MA...can't wait to hear about your experience in philly... can't wait to hear about everybody's experience!

Yeah, I think it's pretty good pay too. I'm suprised you are not making more than me in Boston considering the cost of living is higher there. I'm happy I got such a good deal cause I am in debt with student loans up to my eyeballs.... I should have just gone to nursing school in the first place rather than getting a bio degree which I never used!

I started at $17.64 on an LDRP in NH and got a 50 cent raise for passing the boards. The hospital gave all nursing staff a minimum 75 cent raise last month, so my base pay is $18.89 now. Shift diffs are $3.50 evenings/$6.50 nights/$1.50 weekends.
