jersey nurses

I live in NY, but am licensed in NJ.
I taught at night in Essex County - 6-10.
Pay was comparable to NY.

I inquired about School Nurse, but the
salary was horrible.

Many NYers work in NJ, so the salaries must
be comparable or they wouldn't be working
there.

Good Luck !!

I'm from Philly, and I know the pay in the metro Philly area (including south Jersey) is pretty good (up to $50,000 to start)-- plus housing is cheaper in Jersey than in Philly. I think there are lots of magnet hospitals in Jersey as well.

i'm not a nurse yet...but live in Jersey.. the 2 hospital systems in my area are starting there nurse right out of school anywhere from $38 to $41 per hr!

My sister works in NY.. and she currently earns $47p/hr and she works per diem!

$38-$41 per hour?!?!?!?! Is this just in NY?? because i just post a thread asking how much a nurse makes in Ontario and everyone is telling me under $22. they also said the most a nurse can make after nine years of work is $32... this one nurse in Manitoba has been working 4.5 yrs at $17 an hour!!!....what's the deal here? Canadian nurses are payed half what American's get?

B_MATT.........................What part of Jersey are you in? I am trying to relocate back up north and I am looking for some information about some GOOD hospitals in that state. I am originally from NYC and I am very familiar with the Jersey area.

Just which 2 hospitals in NJ are starting new hire RNs this salary????? I don't know of any and I work in NJ.

Dear nursetobe, it is true that on east and west coast there are nurses making that kind of money. However, if you went to work at hospital in the interior you would most likely take a pay cut or get paid the same.

Do you know if those salaries hold up in south jersey? (Just camden and cherry Hill area? LIke cooper and virtua?) or all over. I'm looking for jersey shore salaries too!
