going pay rate in hawaii?

Published

anybody work in hawaii and know what the pay scale is over there? wondering what a RN starts out at and what the average experienced nurse makes. even what a typical travel nurse makes out there. I would imagine it is similiar to california or possibley NY pay since cost of living is high in both areas. I work in Florida our pay range is 22 starting as new nurse and up to mid 30s for a RN with lots of experience for in a hospital.

New grads start out at 36 where I work. Traveling nurses get 50+ and usually have living expenses paid for. Seasoned nurses can make 50+ as well.

No, sorry. Although the nurse I spoke to that made that much was an ICU nurse, that might make a difference.

All the travelers here get paid less than staff, but they have housing provided. Hawaii has the luxury of lots of people wanting to do assignments here so travelers do not get paid that well. Hospitals do offer travelers positions tho, so it may help to take an assignment and hope there is an open position when the contract is done.
