How much do you get paid?

[EILEEN456]

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??

This is making me a little sad. I've been an LPN for 6 years and I make $19 at my LTC. I hope I start out at more than some of what people have been posting. I have one semester left in school for RN.

$26.62 after 1 year, with $7 shift diff weeknights and $10 shift diff weekends in Dallas.

Better RN salaries on the west coast are a direct effect of Union representation.

[cosmicmama, ASN, BSN, MSN, RN]

$30.59/hr in rural NC with 16 years experience, plus $4 night shift diff. I'm getting ready to go prn and will be making $35 plus shift diff.

I remember my starting rate as a new grad 16 years ago to be around $16. I think the new grads here start around $20-23/hr now.
