Hello,
I just moved to Portland. I got a job with an agency. They offered me $37.50 and hour. I have a total of 10 years experience. 3 years in Long term care, 10 in Acute Physical Rehab, and 5 years experience in med/Surg. I just moved from Pennsylvania, and I know that the cost of living is much higher here. Does this amount sound good to start out? Thank you.

I am not familiar with agency rates here. I think on a regular med surg dayshift position I make about $32/hr, not including any weekend or evening differential and I've been a med surg nurse for almost 3 years. Good luck!
