Pay in East Tennessee for a new RN is also 18 an hour. We are right next to KY and there pay is also around 18 unless you go to the one hospital that is union in which case it would be a little more but you pay city tax and union dues there so it evens out.
In defense of union dues; I worked a union job for ten years and my dues were only $16 per month. That fee included health insurance for my entire family!!! Also many other benefits.
So in my experience, union dues are WAY Lower than what you'll pay anywhere else for health insurance!

I'm in no way putting down union dues. My husband is retired from the UAW and I am all for it. I'm just making the point that in this area between having to pay the city taxes and the union dues at that particular hospital you are making the same $18 as in the other hospitals. That was my point, not putting down unions.
