Average salary for experienced BSN in Atlanta, GA?

ED Nurse, RN · Jan 17, 2016

I don't know the salary in Atlanta, but you can do a google search and come up with a range; however, don't expect too much more than a new nurse out of school, bc two years in the grand scheme of things is still, relatively, a new nurse- and hospitals see it that way too.

I'm surprised to hear that. I would think a nurse with 2 years of experience, a proven track record, and who has all required certifications would definitely earn more than a new grad. Instead of having to invest time, resources, and training in the hopes the new nurse is successful, a potential employer would have a nurse that could hit the ground running.

You will earn more than a new grad - but think $1-2/hr more, not $5.

3+ years ago when I started out as a new grad ADN in Atlanta I was paid $23.50 +.50 cents diff when I acquired ACLS, $2 for nights and another $1.50 for weekends. My hospital didn't give a diff for BSN.
