San Francisco, CA $42.4067 hourly with $7.7922 night differential.
I am a new grad and I am going to start my first RN job next month June 9.
Ooooh that sounds fabulous....but then I realize it's California, and due to the enormous cost of living out there, you're pretty much making the equivalent of what I am making, and I'm in the midwest.
I work in Omaha, NE-just graduated last December. I was a Medical Technologist-did all the lab testing, drew some blood for 12 years prior to the nursing switch. I make 18.75 plus 15% shift diff on nights, another 15% shift diff for weekends because I chose to work every weekend. I think now they are offering 19.50 though to new grads and I will get the adjustment in June. I'm not that particular about pay at this point as I am more concerned about having a good experience as a new nurse and learning what I need to. I will be more concerned about pay, feel that I can call the shots a little more, when I am experienced.
I graduated with my BSN in 12/07, started working in 2/08 in an ICU in the Upstate area of SC. I did have CNA and internal medicine experience, and it made no difference. My base is $22.50 with shift diff $3.00 and weekends $8.00.
I live in Putnam County NY and I am starting work next month on a telemetry floor. I will be making $29.74/hr for days.
Most hospitals are really open about their starting salaries. So you can either leave that part of the app blank or call the hospital and ask HR what the starting salary for a new grad BSN is.
For many of the positions I have been applying for (county, state, non profit & even for profit hospitals) you have to write in a dollar amount or the computer application will not submit. For this problem I search online for what the going salary is. There are many sites that can give you a guideline if you google.
I work in NJ and started out at $29.71 and get a $4.00 night shift differential so it comes out to 33.71, if I am pulled to anoter unit I get pull pay making it 34.71.
Yea it may look like alot BUT But I live in NYC and work in NJ and have NJ and NY taxes taken out of my pay check, dual state taxes STINK!!! So when I see my take home pay I always cry b/c I see what I actually made and what my take home is and sob.
