Salary to expect as a new grad nurse

Nurses New Nurse

Published

Hello all. just reading different threads and wondering what does the starting salary look like for a grad nurse? i live the in Atlanta area so any ball park figure will do. thanks!

and again i think that it is very sorry that Chicago, one of the most expensive places to live in US exploits nurses at 22. Sorry, I could not help it but throw this in. :confused:

Dallas, TX

I'm getting 23.85 day shift...up to 35 for weekend nights. But I'm pretty sure this is the highest paying in my area. Many of my school mates are starting 20-22 an hour. I know you will see higher pay in bigger cities...cost of living is higher.

Tif could you please answer her or in a PM the hospital (or system) and department you got $23? It has to have changed since you posted hopefully for better

sacramento is near San Fran pay, but much cheaper living costs.

Nursingguy- I'm sorry- could you explain exactly what is paid at near $70k? You showed a link to a Clinical I nurse- whihc I too would assume is a GN/Brand new RN- but its a label I havent seen before.

I would move out to UC Davis in a heart beat for $15/hour more! The apts in the Dallas area are approx the same as there (I looked up the UCDMC zip code and searched all apts w/ in 10 miles lol- plenty!) at about $750+ for a 1-2 bed room. Are these things ghetto? LOL I wanted to send in my application/CL for the heck of it!

Uc davis had a posting there a while back and were not hiring for new grads

but

go to ucdavis med center website

look up external candidates under employment

then click on employment

and new grads

it will list the positions, but listen

call back the recruiter often. Otherwise they will fill the position with Sacramento/Bay new grads.

Thanks

Some are getto some are not, it just depends. Clinical nurse 1 is what new grads start at. Three days a week, they do three 12 hour shifts a week, but always a option to do more if you like overtime.

This is true, they really prefer grads who did all there rotations at davis, many of my friends have been hired there.

Hi guys! I just have a question, what questions do they normally ask in an interview? I'm having an interview with the hospital that I applied to tomorrow and I'm nervous as hell (knowing that I don't go so well at interviews, it's making me nervous) I don't have a problem doing what I'm suppose to do but sometimes it just gets me so intimidated when you're in a big room full of people trying to get a piece of you asking you all these questions, lol! and the silence is just nerve racking. Need some word of advice here, I really appreciate it! Thank you!
