Hi everyone,
I am just starting clinicals this fall at LSUE, and I know I am kinda jumping the gun here , but I was just curious as to how much new RN's actually make just starting out around the Lafayette or Baton Rouge areas.
I know that you can look up salaries at www.salaries.com, but that would be averages for all RN's in the area. Not beginners like I hope to be some day.
I am thinking around $40,000/yr, or $18-$20/hr. If any of you new nurses can let me know, I would appreciate it!
THANKS,
Penny
What hospital do you work at in Shreveport? It is always good to know which hospitals to keep in mind when looking for employment in the future. I'm getting ready to apply possibly next semester for the ADN program at NSU and I've been trying to gather as much info as possible regarding post graduation. I can't wait to start the program, I am nervous but also very excited at the same time. I have been procrastinating for too long.
hello everyone. thanks for all the great posts about the new grad salary. i haven't seen anything on the pay for new grads in baton rouge. does anyone know what a new grad working at olol-br, womans hospital, oschner and baton rouge general should expect to start at? any input would be greatly appreciated.
also, can anyone shed some light on the job market here as well. how long is it taking for the new grads to get employed? if its taking a while, what are the employers saying? are there any new grads unable to land a job?
just curious about how things are and what the class of 2011 has to look forward to.
thanks guys!!!
