$770 for my first 12 units, $41/unit for each one after. Revisits/wound care are 1 unit, SOC/ROC are 2.5 units. We get paid 45 cents per mile. This is in NJ, and I'm brand new to home care.

I have what is essentially a Baylor home health position (weekends only). I get paid $762 for my first 12.5 units, and then I get $41/unit for each additional unit I pick up (admissions are 2.5 units on the weekends, revisits are 1 unit, etc). I only...
Friends of mine who recently were hired at two different major teaching hospitals in Philly (Einstein and HUP) are making $27 and some change as new grad RNs. I work across the bridge in Camden and started at $31/hr.

And also, I&Os are very important on a surgical floor. A lot of times, patients will be "dry" when they come up from the PACU. Watch their urine output, and let the doctor know if it's low so that they can put in an order for us to bolus if neede...

Hi there! I started as a new grad on a surgical/step down unit and I love it (it's been eight months now that I've worked on my floor). It can be extremely overwhelming at times, especially working day shift, but you will learn a lot and your organiz...
I've been on a general surgery floor (we also take medicine and trauma overflow) for 7 months now, and I have learned SO much. As a new grad, it really teaches you how to prioritize and become organized; it's extremely hectic and overwhelming at time...
I was started at $31/hour as a new grad at a major teaching hospital in South Jersey. As far as negotiating salary, with as saturated as the market in this area is, I'd be hesitant; there are thousands of new grads graduating every semester who will ...

Additionally, for those just starting school, really try to find a pool CNA position at a teaching hospital (they seem to be more keen on hiring new grads than a lot of other places). It will give you a foot up over the thousands of other new grads h...
Here's my brain sheet: enough room for a patient sticker in the top left, and it's for night shift on a primarily surgical floor. I personally like open, yet organized space to jot down information. I take initial report in black ink, and then I'll p...
New BSN grad (July), hired on at South Jersey hospital at a rate of $31/hr plus 10% shift diff between 7p-12a and 15% shift diff between 12a-7a working night shift.
For our hospital, it is dependent on the level of monitoring that they need. I work on a med-surg floor, and while we do get some sick people up there, they can be on our floor because the physicians have determined that they only need q4-12 hour mon...

Yeah unfortunately, unless you have an amazing "in" at Cooper, they haven't brought on ASN/Diploma new grads in a couple of years because their Magnet application is currently being processed (it's even rare for current employees who graduated with A...
3 of us here had instant success going to Newark, as did two of my new grad coworkers. So far, going to Newark seems to be the most effective way to get things moving. Good luck to you!
