When did you get your first raise?


When you first started as a nurse, when did you get your first raise (after orientation, 3 months, 6 months, a year)? For the newer nurses, how much of a raise did you get? Was it by a certain dollar amount per hour or was it a percentage of your pay?

Your feedback is appreciated! Our annual reviews are coming up in May and I think I'm due for a raise. I just want to know what to realistically expect. Thanks!

Piggy Bank Re: When did you get your first raise?
My first raise was a hospital wide cost of living increase of 60 cents/hr, about a month after I started. However--I just came across my first pay stub, from 6/13/1987. My hourly wage was $9.63; I grossed $653.88 for 67.9 hrs of work. While that seems like such a small amt, I thought I was livin' large. And, although it seems like so little, I believe it's still more than minimum wage today.... Michele
