Memphis Hospitals Starting Pay

it does vary some, but average is about $23 an hour base

For those graduating in May 09, August 09 they are finding jobs in the range of 21-23 an hour. 19 is a little low for the Memphis area. Most are up around 21-22, some higher. It will only go up. May 2010 grads will likely make more than May 09 grads.

what facility is starting new grads at $23/hr base pay on a regular shift?

the med starts off at 19.xx plus an extra % for bedside care (equates to about $21.65)
methodist starts off <$21
baptist is $20-21 depending on the facility

these are for regular shifts not including any shift differentials, weekend, or prn pay, and it is current as of september 2009 as i have talked to recruiting from all of these facilities for local nursing information. all of this information came straight from the cat's mouth
