Hi Kevin. I don't live in Lousiville, but close and have inquired about the wages there. At Kosair's Childrens (which is a part of Norton's) I know that they start new grads at $19 an hour and if you work the weekend shift (WOW program- work only weekends Fri, Sat or Sun) you will make time and a half and only have to work 2 shifts, but get paid for three. That's a sweeeeet deal. That's all I know. Hope this helps.

Hi Kevin! Just like the other response, it's true that a new grad's starting rate is a little over $19. I graduated this past May and that's what I started at and I do work at Kosair, the Children's Hospital. Anyway, info from my other classmates say that we all start at about the same rate at the other local hospitals,also. Hope that helps.

I am in Massachusetts and looking to move to KY. I am hoping the $19 is r/t the lower cost of living? Beginning wage near me is $26-$28/hr.

It depends on your experience, your workplace and your shift. My daughter is an RN, works on a post-surgical unit on the Baylor +1 program (every Sat & Sun plus 1 weekday) and makes 55k-60k per year. She has only been out of RN (AA) school 3 years. (This was her salary for an AA, I think she got a raise since she got her BSN).
I am an LPN with 20+ yrs experience. I was making 34k at the hospital. Now working for an insurance co and making 5k more working for an insurance co. in case management.

I don't know what the cost of living is in Wisconsin, but I know Louisville's cost of living is much less than, say, Chicago.
