I would like to very much to know.....What is the starting rate for a new grad as a RN? I know it may vary from State to state but I'm just curiuos do they pay you less if you have no prior medical experience ....or do they pay you what the position is going for new grad or not?

If there is anyone on the board from THE ATL. I'm especially interested in your replies!!!!!!!

Thanks

In central Arkansas, about $14.00 for new grads. Some hospitals are doing tuition reembursment if you worked there as a tech while you a student.

In the Minneapolis-St Paul area it is ~$21.24/hr for a new grad. You also get $2.50/hr for straight evenings and $4.00/hr for nights. Most hospitals are offering $500-750 sign on bonus for new grads too.

There is also loan repayment of up to $10,000. Reimbursement is $2,000/year for working .8 and above, and it is prorated for less hours.

From the looks of it I live in the right area! :D

Specializes in Community Health Nurse.

Does anyone know how much new grads and experienced RNs make in Indianapolis, Indiana? We're looking at retiring from the military next year, and we have family there so may consider Indiana as home. I'd like to know what nursing there is like. Thanks! :)

I am near the santa cruz/san jose area and if you're coming from so cal I would think twice..I like so cal MUCH better than here. They do pay much better though and really the standard of living is the same.

I am at a non union hospital, the shift differential is pretty good too, it is about $3 pms, $4 nocs. The benefits are pretty much free, and what I mean by that is for health insurance for myself I pay nothing (if I had dependents I would pay I think $20 or something). The only thing taken out of my paycheck is taxes! Pretty good deal except that I don't really like my job much and I would do anything to have my job back in San diego area and get paid $10 less....the people were much nicer and supportive to new grads =) Priceless!

Good luck!
