TN New grad pay

LOL willdgate... so the grass wasn't greener eh? I already have a job lined up but I was curious how the rest of the state is paying.

Right about avg for this area, right over 20 plus night/weekend diffs

Baptist came to my school. They sure have good perks .. 2 for 1 matching on 401k. Recruiter was hesitant on the staffing ratio questions. Base was 19.50 I think. Bedside was up to 2.00 depending on which unit. Nights/Weekends 4.50 I think.
The one thing very unusual I'm curious if others know about was working per diem as a new grad. If you take NO benefits it's 26/hr base plus diffs. I don't know if other hospitals offer this or not. It's kind of appealing to someone who has a spouse with insurance. I still don't plan to work there but may check into this at some other places. I could load up hubbys 401k for now and just do my own IRA or something. If you worked per diem nights/weekends that is somewhere in the neighborhood of 70,000 for a brand new grad just working 36 hr/week.
