It depends on if you work in a specialty area or not. ICU, ER, OR will pay a little more than working on the floor.

Some facilities do not pay more for department, esp if new grad. You will need to check specific facility to see what current policy is

I didn't realize this. Then yes, check with the facilities. At my hospital, there is a difference in pay for new grads depending on where you work. Plus, you have shift diff to account for as well if you are working night shift.
