2. John hopkins hospital and starting salary

   KatieLynne86 replied to SKYSTHELIMIT's topic in Maryland

   I just interviewed with them in Feb. and they are starting new grads at 28.11. That is factoring in your holiday pay, shift differential for your half nights and weekend pay. The only way your paycheck would increase is if you did overtime.
