Columbus Area Hospital Pay

Published

I'm considering moving to the Columbus area. I'm wondering what the area hospitals pay. I have ~2 years experience right now but am not sure when I would be moving. New grad salaries would be fine as they are probably easier to know.

Thanks!

I can only speak for my experience with Ohio Health, but I know they consider experience when setting initial pay rates. I started at around 27.00/hr as a new RN, and I think they took my 11 years experience as a LPN into account.

Anecdotally, I've heard most hospitals in the area start RNs in the 23-27 range, with Ohio Health paying the best, followed by the Mount Carmel hospitals, then OSU.

Ive heard the same thing regarding pay scale. Ohio Health offers the highest, and OSU offers the lowest.

OSU offers the lowest? Surprising since they are union. How are the benefits at Ohio Health?

OSU has state benefits, so I think that's why they get away with paying the least.

Thanks for the info. Lots to think about (pay, benefits, union, etc). I'll have to take a closer look, maybe see if one hospital or another appeals to me more/has the type of unit I currently work in.
