LAFAYETTE, LA PAY???

[knothole]

Looking for close to accurate info on pay in Lafayette. Not too curious on pay anywhere else just in Lafayette. I live in New Orleans and attend Charity. After school I want to move to Lafayette(if the pay is worth it). I dont want to move for 16-18 $/hr when I can stay in NOLA and make close to $30/hr as a new grad. Anyway any info on pay in Lafayette would be awesome!!

Thanks!

Hey guys its been a while since my last post.......since then i have been on an interview in lafayette at our lady of lourdes. new grads start at 20.55 with diffs at 4 and 5 for Ns/Ws. Not sure of other hospitals in the area but i am sure they would be close.

!!!clarification!!! $4 Evenings/$5 Nights. No weekend diffs.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but what exactly is an agency nurse? And how do you get into that?

I think agency nurse means you're working through the agency not directly to the hospital.
