    Hi all!

    I was wondering what the starting salary is for a new nurse grad in the psychiatric care setting. I tried searching the forums but could not find relevant information. I have my BA in psych and will hopefully start working on my RN license from city college. I will be working in Los Angeles area.

    Also, if you don't mind telling me if you have your associates, bachelors, etc and how many years you have been working

    Thank you!
