Considering move to Indianapolis (Noblesville) from Ohio

[mindyk04]

Hi everyone! I recently graduated from a BSN program in Dayton, Ohio, actually just this past Saturday! Way excited! I am considering moving to Noblesville, IN to live with my brother, but was a bit confused by salary rates for nurses in the Indianapolis area. I saw many posts saying the starting rate is 20/hr but I read a sheet in the Methodist Hospital stating it was 25/hr, with $4 more for nights. I was very excited about this, but now reading this, I'm wondering if I should stay in Ohio? Can anyone tell me different starting rates for Rn's in this area, especially between St. Vincent's and Clarian?? Thanks!:balloons:

Hello! I just graduated with my ASN (and passed my boards last week!! Woo-hoo!!) Anyway, I am starting Monday at St. Vincent's in the ER. Their starting wages for new grads is $20 before boards and then $20.50 after you pass. I think the shift differentials are 17% for nights and 15% for weekends (or visa versa). I am getting a modest sign on bonus for night shift. I'm not sure what Clarian is offering, but Community North was $19.50 with about $4 for night shift and 3 something for weekends.

If that sounds bad, you should hear what the hospital I worked at for 4 years in the ER offered me as a nurse. . . $13 before boards and $16 after. $1 night shift differential and $2 weekend. This hospital is about 1.5 hours north of Indianapolis, and are losing nurses left and right (gee, wonder why?).

Hope that helped you out some. Good luck!
