I am thinking of relocating to that area when I am finished school. I was wondering if anyone has any idea as to what their RN's start off there?
Thanks

I can't help you with Summerlin, but I live up in northern Nevada and starting pay is between $24-28/hour, depending upon the facility and the shifts you work. I think the cost of living is comparable....we were thinking of moving down there but didn't get in on the real estate boom in time and now it's ridiculously expensive to buy a friggin' house there...even more so then here, which is pretty damn high. But for things other than housing, it's pretty similar. There are probably way more RN jobs there because I know they are/have opened new facilities like crazy to keep up with the exploding population.
