Hi,

At my hospital in Raleigh, NC the pay for new RN's is:

base pay: $20.30/hr
evening diff: $4.50/hr
night diff: $6.00/hr
weekend: $10/hr

Here, it ranges (base w/no experience) from 17.50-19.50. My hospital base is 18.50, with shift diff of $3 from 3p-11p, and 4.5 from 11p-7a. I also get $4/hour for float.

The other salaries sound impressive, but when you use a cost ofliving calculators, we pretty much make the same!

Exactly. It's just up to us individually to use our money wisely.

Holy Moly I'm moving to Wisconsin!!!!
We start at $24.40 for the New Grad program and then got a raise to $24.80 after orientation (a whole 40 cents!) but we are a small Children's hospital and not a conglomerate like Banner.

In the hospital I work at in Baltimore, MD the new grad base is 24.50 with a night diff of 3.41 (if you work 7p-7a your diff starts at 7p which is a plus) the weekend diff is 2.50.

+ Free parking, onsite daycare, 24 hour onsite fitness gym, and great discounts on stuff like your cellphone bill, mortgage lending, lasik eye surgery, + various community discounts. So there's some nice perks, too. I learned a long time ago to look at more than your paycheck. If you have discounts on things you use everyday, it's still more money in your pocket (e.g., a 25% discount on your $100 cellphone bill every month = $25 more for you!)

At Hopkins (a big hospital system) they start you slighty less and your benefits aren't that spectacular, but its a well-known name so some people take the cut for the prestige.

Good luck and hope you get the info you're looking for!

Not all cities in Wisconsin pay so well! I was offered 22 at a large hospital in Milwaukee. I am making 22.35 in a much smaller town in LTC. Cost of living is higher in Madison than it is my hometown.
