Hello everyone,
I live in California and just graduated as an RN with my Associates a few months ago. My wife and I are thinking of possibly moving to Nashville in a few months....I lived there for a little less than a year a while back and really loved it. I was wondering if any of you RN's could tell me how much you make, in what nursing area, and how many years experience. I would especially appreciate any information you could give me regarding the market for new grad RN's. Out here in San Diego new grad RN's start right around $25/hr and the opportunities are boundless, especially for new grads and any retired nurses wanting to get back into nursing. There are soooo many training programs that cater to those just starting their careers out here. What's it like in Nashville? I've done the research regarding housing information so I know that the rent I'd pay would be much cheaper than out here, but I'm having a hard time finding out about salary info/new grad programs for RN's. Any information you could give me would be much appreciated. Thanks!!!!
