   Any difference of starting pay for new grads in Houston or Dallas?
   Is it cheaper to live in Houston or Dallas??

   Medical center Houston new grads get more than that in internship programs....Dallas is definitely more expensive than Houston.

   Wow I'm very surprised at the hr wage for RNs in Texas. Back in 2008 I investigated new LVN and RN hr wage and was told by a nurse recruiter at a local hospital in the Bryan/College Station area RNs are paid $25 an hr and that was in 2008 I'm not sure what the the new pay is now in 2013 but I know that it's has increased at least for that hospital.

   I'm an LVN in Austin making 25$/hr. why are they paying RNs 22$/hr at st. David's??
   My coworkers @ seton are getting 25-27$/hr as RNs.
   Once I'm done with my RN degree I refuse to have lower pay!

   Does anyone know what the starting pay rate is for new grads at st. David's in Austin. I read that it was 22/hr in 2012, has it gone up since then?

   Supply and demand. When there are a ton of new nurses climbing over one another to get a foot in the door the hospital can do whatever it wants re: pay.

   Yea and don't come to Northern California - most new grads are climbing over each other for interships vs paying jobs because 95% of hospitals REQUIRE one year work experience. Supply and demand is killing the wages for new grads in my opinion.
