Conversation Between Chica_bella813 and RNLola035

Actually that was my orientation rate..I was making $46.97 as a new grad at Alta Bates Summit in Oakland, CA(it was originally $45.97 but because it is union we were granted $1.00 raise in October 2008, only a month after I started). The cost of living here is pretty high though. Housing is pretty expensive (though it has gone down a bit with all the foreclosures). If you wanted to rent a one bedroom one bath apartment it's about $1200 per month.

Hey RNLOLA!! I read one of your posts saying you make $42/hr what state are you in and is that night shift contract?? That's awesome.
