How much do you get paid?

Published

Just curious into knowing how much does an rn start off with if working in a hospital??? Does it depend what unit you choose to work in? Or qualifications you have??

Specializes in Emergency Nursing.

It varies widely from state to state, and even from area to area within states.

Specializes in CT stepdown, hospice, psych, ortho.

most hospitals have a set rate based on how many years of experience you have and then you get yearly raises (hopefully)

I'll tell you in the space of 3 years and a switch between east coast to the west coast, pay increased by almost $20 an hour.

I always wondered how people afford to live on the west coast. Now I see that they make double what I do!
