Your Starting Salary?

[x_factor]

For nursing students like myself, I thought it would be helpful and intersting to see what type of salary is out there for graduating nursing students for different area's. Looking around the site, I see different salary threads, but many replies are from nurses with 10 or more years experience, or the threads are years old and the starting salary is long outdated. I thought it would be more helpful to have a thread with nurses who are fresh out of school and what their starting salary is.

List whether you are an LPN or an RN

What your starting salary is/was after you graduated

Whether it's a hospital or LTC

What state you live in

Don't! With that nice paycheck comes ridiculously high cost of living & high taxes :) I personally can't wait to move out of California, even though it means a big fat pay cut.
