RN Salary in San Antonio

That would be about $28.85 per hour for the average 36 hour per week work. IMHO they are stretching the average salary (not taking into account differentials for nights or weekends) by, at least, $4 per hour for the experienced nurse. Think new grads would have to be, at least, $7.00 per hour less. The salary you cite may be average if there are differentials and overtime factored in; but, my experience in North Texas has shown that 'overtime' is usually considered a dirty word by managment .

This is inaccurate for the San Antonio area. New RNs typically start at between $18 and $20 hourly, which adds up to about $40,000 per year.

The pay rates tend to be low in SA due to the number of nursing schools in the area. More nursing schools leads to plenty of new nurses being churned into the job market every few months. In turn, an oversupply of nurses in the local job market results in depressed pay rates.
