GN starting rate?

Published

Hello everyone,

I am just curious to find out your state of practice and your starting rate as well as patient ratio. I am in O-Town (Orlando, Florida ) and the starting rate here for GN's is $19.69. How pathetic!

I live in Portland, Oregon and as a BSN I started at 27.09 (I believe the starting rate for ADN's is 25.09). I work at a large teaching hospital and the evening shift differential is $2 and the night shift differential is $6. We also have what we call CNI (critical need incentive) shifts and on the unit I work in we have been having them quite frequently. During these shifts we get paid our base pay plus $10 more per hour.

When i started 3 yrs ago the starting rate was $24. I believe its stayed the same and will continue that way until the local competition raises their rates.

$18.50 in west texas base at ALL the hospitals. $2 even $4 night $3 CC $2 weekend and $5 float diff. So you have the potential to make $32/hour IF you work nights, a CC area on the weekend and have to float too!! LOL I left a hospital close by that offered NO CC, weekend or float diff and they paid $18.25 base with $2 even and $3 night diff. Cost of living is moderate we rent a 4 bedroom house for $800/month until we can buy one of our own.

In Dallas TX I started at $19.50. I was really disappointed because I graduated from Houston, and my nursing buddies were starting at $23-25/hr. I've always heard that nursing meant great salaries, but not without on call and overtime added to it!
