Average Salary in Murrieta/Temecula

[BD-RN, BSN, RN]

I am finally relocating back home for awhile after living on the East Coast since I became a RN! I am moving from NYC, so I'm trying to figure out my budget; how much money I'll save, etc. I was wondering if anyone knew the average salary for this area? I know in California it can vary greatly. I tried researching online but I'm not sure how accurate it is, I've seen anywhere from $45K to $77. I was also wondering if anyone had the average per diem rate at well?

To break the ice, here in NYC it's around $80K, with base rate usually being anywhere from $76-79K depending on hospital, but 80 after you factor in BSN differential, etc.

Don't worry, not asking for personal salaries, just average. Thanks so much!

Another factor to consider, are you a new grad? New grad, or RN I positions are not only hard to come by they are generally paid less. Huge difference between northern and southern CA as well, southern CA pays less generally. I have seen hourly wages for $28-44/hour in northern CA and starting around mid 20's/hour for southern CA. That is just what I have seen

No, not a new grad, I have over 2 yrs experience. Right I'm aware of the difference between so. cal and the bay, I'm specifically asking for the Inland Valley; my home town in Murrieta, and I'm looking to move back with my parents to save some money. Im talking to a recruiter from a travel company; just doing my research so I don't get low-balled, like they usually do up front. I cant work in LA or San Diego, that would be WAY too big of a commute, just Murrieta/Temecula.

Sorry I don't know how much for your experience level, but new grads start at $29/hour with Southwest Healthcare. I think Loma Linda pays about the same. Hope that helps some.
