Wanting to move to Montana

Starting pay for new grads is sad to say in the low 20's. There are shift diff with weekend diffs . Of course st pat's pays better. But the commute is over 35 miles. So you have to weigh your time and gas not to mention wear and tear on your car. There is also community hosp a bit closer than St pat's.
The move must be made with a desire for a new way of life. Great place to raise kids. Low crime. Beautiful scenery. Alls jobs are low pay not just nurses. Good luck!

Are you saying new grad RNs make $11-12 per hour? Wow! I had absolutely no idea. Thanks for posting the info.

I said low $20's where do you get 11-12$?

Hi,

st patricks in missoula mt has both pysch and cd specialty. wage would probably be 28-32 range i'm guessing....... they are union.........easy to find out.

Hi, I am a travel nurse working in MT. Actually this is my 3rd summer here. I have worked in Bozeman, IHS outside Billings, and now central MT. Almost every small hospital needs RN's. The reason we come here is to be with my son and family. My son moved here from FL. The kids love it here. They feel so safe and can be kids. The locals are so nice everywhere we go. They are very family oriented and the schools are the center of most social activities.The hospital are all good and have modern equipment. Because of the distance to the medical centers you can see everything in the small hospitals. Hope this helps.

Has anyone here worked in Big Timber?
