$39/hr???

I'm still a nursing student, but there's a rumor floating around our program that you can make $39/hr working at the children's hospital in Fort Worth on the weekends. As a new grad. Seems a tad high to me, but what do I know??

What can I REALLY expect to make as a new grad in 2009??

(and yes, I researched this before I started nursing school, so I have an idea, but I just want to know the "going rate" right now...people are always so reluctant to share that info..........so at least a range would be great!)

Thanks!

In my unit there is only one time a year when anyone can be considered for a schedule change. If someone quits, and you want their schedule thats to bad. They will just hire someone outside the unit/hospital to fill it. I guess they have had to many people fighting over open positions in the past.

And then hospitals wonder why they can't retain nurses. Let's just look over the nurses who already work here and what makes them happy! That is so sad. :cry:
