    Well, that all depends too. If you move to the outlying counties, Cabarrus, Union, Gaston, it is cheaper. Living in upstate SC is even better. But, if you want to live in Matthews, Pineville, or God forbid, Lake Norman area, be prepared to pay too much.

    I am one of about 3 native Charlotteans that are left here. Anything you wanna know about it, just ask!

    Then I think we are among the last eight North Carolinians left in NC (I wasn't born here b/c I was a Navy brat, but I've lived here since I was a year old!)! Everyone I meet these days is from SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!

    And yes - did you hear this morning? Scratch tickets by I think they said 30 March and Lotto by 30 April! IT'S ABOUT TIME!!

    May I ask which hospital offered you $30 to start in SO. CAL??

    I was offered jobs in SO Cal ($28.75 after 6 mo.) and in Minneapolis, MN (around $26.00) for RN, BSN... Not including shift diffs.

    My friends graduating this May in Kansas City are saying they are being offered $20/hr not including diff.

    Good luck everyone!

    ashfrost,
    I graduated with several friends from the ATL area, these quotes are based on what they were told. Decadur $22, Southern Regional $18-19, Henry $18-19. I live closer to Macon (about 1hr south) & most of hospitals offer $19 + shift diff.

    North Carolina $ for new grads around 18.50/hr with 3 - 4/hr shift and 10/hr WE stacked. Some specialty areas (L&D, ICU, ED) offer 1-3/hr diff too. Not as bad as some, not as good as others, but cost of living is low.

    north fla the average is 17-19$ central fl is a little better but not much. if you want tomake money then you need to move to tampa, miami, or palm beach. the thing about north fl though is the cost of living. I know adn's with experience who are making $100,000 a year as DON's and Risk managers. you can get a really nice house for about 200,000$ or a decent one for 100,000$. lots of good hospitals too, especially in Gainesville, Tampa, Miami, Jacksonville, Orlando. If you tell me a general area I could give you more info.
    Hello CompassionateNurse....Re: salary in Florida based on city - what about West Palm Beach - Tenet Healthcare systems? Any idea? I grew up in West Palm and am considering returning as a new graduate RN but have heard the salaries are low (probably they were referring to N. florida. -Thanks!

    I'm a new grad in Midwestern Kansas. I make $17.61 + $2.00 shift diff on evenings. It is kind of low but the cost of living here is really low. I live in a nice 2 bedroom rental house with 2 car garage for $550 a month. Hospitals around here are all right about at that pay except for the psychiatric hospital which is 23 an hour.
