Salary

Hi Everyone,

I've just recently accepted a position in NICU. I am a new graduate, and the pay i'm getting isn't much different from the Med/Surg unit I'm leaving. I'm just wondering what some of you started out making in the NICU? The pay doesn't change my decision or bother me. I'm extremly happy, grateful, and excited to have gotten this position. Just curious

No pay difference, unless you're the "first nurse" that shift (first nurse can run transports, is capable of intubating, inserting lines, ect).

My hospital also pays more since it is an ICU.
