Want the real scoop on new grad pay in Mississippi?

Got the info from UMC today. Any takers?

Good luck, Tandi! Where are you going to school?

Keep in mind anyone, these are what I was told are new grad rates

Baptist-Jackson:
The nurse managers I spoke with said that there had been some discussion about raising new grad pay rates to be more competitive with the region, not just the metro area - but that no decisions had been made regarding those pay status changes.
$16 hour GN/$16.50 RN
Shift diff of $2.00-3.50 (evenings/nights)
Weekend program $24.50 (available to new grads after orientation) - pays only for actual hours worked
Clinical ladder - $1/1year, $2/2 years, $3/3 years
Yearly raise of 3-4% based on performance reviews

UMC
Base $16.50 ($17.00 if did an externship at UMC)
Clinical ladder $1.00
ACLS $0.50
Shift diff: evenings 10% base pay, nights 15% base pay, weekend days 10% base pay, weekend evenings 20% base pay, weekend nights 25% base pay

Well, double congratulations then! I wish you the best of luck!

I met and talked to an RN today, working NSICU at UMC, that graduated from Hinds!

I'm graduating from MUW in Columbus this May!
