Our hospital doesn't count foreign experience in regard to salary offer. Nor do we give extra $$$'s for working in specialized units (all our units are specialized according to nursing). I'm guessing, but I would say, in the LA area, starting rate would be $25-$28/hr without differentials. Good Luck!
What I meant was that whether you were referring to Los Angeles or Louisiana would make a difference in the reply you needed. (Pay rates, as well as cost of living, can vary greatly in different areas of the country.)
Try www.salary.com for some good information.
Even in the Los Angeles area, pay rates can vary quite a bit, depending on what part of L.A. or its suburbs you choose, but you are probably looking at $30/hr, plus or minus a few dollars. Union facilities generally have better pay as well as better benefits.
