Maybe you should think of traveling nurse jobs. I hope everything changes for you.

i live 45 minutes southwest of atlanta, and here RN pay ranges from 17.50 an hour to salaried positions ranging in the 60-70,000's. but the higher end i just named is in home health. needless to say im seeking other employment, as home health has burnt me out totally. they can keep the money, money isnt everything,,,, i shoulda thought of that b4 i jumped on that job.
Thanks for that insight because I was thinking of home health here in FL.

Hi
i'm weighing my options on doing the RN-->BSN program basically what the major difference ($) are other than the different titles involved such as operating nurse , peds and case management, I'm 39 and will be a nursing student hopefully in the next 6-8 months
Thanks in advance for any replies

You know, I wonder the same thing because I just graduated with a ADN and I have a friend who finished up with a BSN and we are both starting in a new grad program making the same amount. So........... I don't know I've always wondered is there a pay difference with the two, most people i've talked to say there really isn't. But at my college we completed a total of 4 years, 2 years of prereqs and two years of nursing classes, total of 9 nursing classes, Im also starting the RN-BSN program only because I don't want to do floor nursing my entire life.

Thanks Tinesia
I 'm just starting out, and would love to be ANY nurse but probably doing it for as long as you have wouldn't be as inclined. I would just be getting my AS in Nursing and tyring to see if salary wise what the differences would be ,,,,,,
Thanks again

In st. Louis mo. GN start off with 19.00 hr and with the shift diff for the evening and nights you will recieve an additional 4.50.. The cost of living is okay... In a nice area a two bedroom apt will cost @ least 725. So you are right it all depend

new graduate nurses in DC are being offered $26.73 for days, %15 more at nights (30.73) and $5 on weekends (31.73 - 35.73). Whereas in Maryland I was offered around $23.75 for days and $3 more for nights. I guess it depends on the cost of living in your area. NY and Ca probably pay the most. I also applied in Hawaii and they offered about $28/hr.
