Just curious on what starting wages are out there for new grad ADN's in the Midwest?

Wow- can you narrow it down a bit?
Big city (Chicago) vs. Small town (Podunk, Iowa)
Teaching hospital vs. Critical access
Hospital vs. Home Care
LTAC vs. Nursing Home
A lot of the major hospital systems don't even consider ADNs, some of them do.
My apologies; let's specify. Mostly Nebraska and bordering states.
25-bed facilities-not part of a health system-rural, critical access.
160-bed facilities-part of CHI Health-This system is accepting ADNs
However, there is system in Omaha, NE 400-bed average- (UNMC) that only accepts BSN prepared nurses, they do have a couple exceptions to this rule if need be. I have applied to complete an accredited BSN program to start directly after the ADN.
