Interesting to see how pay has changed in this thread over the years

In Kansas City, MO, I make a base pay of $22.05 plus night shift diff of $3.50. I do not work week-ends other than taking call one night every 6 week schedule, another $3.00 per hour. I do not think it is nearly enough pay to compensate for all the emotional and physical stress that we go through on a "daily" basis!:heartbeat:heartbeat:redbeathe:redbeathe:heartbeat:heartbeat

Wow...I am at a small rural hospital in L&D here in TX. Starting pay as a new grad for me was 23.40 and a 4.00 night diff. I'm feeling pretty blessed as I read these salaries. I have 8 months experience now.

I just accepted a position in L&D and my salary is 26.00 with a year of nursing experience. I have been out of school for 2 years though. I am eligible for the shift differential which I believe is 2.00 more. I also have to be on call and get paid more for that as well. I live in Ohio.

As you can see alot depends on where you are and the amount of experience you have. The SF $ sounds great but the cost of living is equally large : /. I am in FL, making $31/hr. Night diff is $5 duing the week, $6 on the w/e and of course there is call and call pay. Call pay is not much $2.50/hr but time and a half if you get called in.

I have my bachelor's and am new to nursing. I have been working in the rehab unit in a south florida hospital for 6 months but would like to eventually work as a obgyn nurse. I currently get paid $23/hr for the 12 day shift with an evening diff $3/hr. There is a $3/hr night diff, and a $3.50/hr weekend diff. FLOBRN how many years of experience do you have and is there a difference in pay as a new grad in a obgyn floor.

What are some pay rates for new nurses in the Minnesota/Wisconsin/Illinois areas, particularily big cities like Minneapolis, Chicago and Milwaukee? I've heard that it is about $21/hr according to some of those salary websites, but don't know how much I can trust them, and I don't want to be asking for too much on my applications!

I have 6 years experience and started at $40.00/hr night shift. I now make $52.00/hr base plus night shift diff. of $6.00/hr. I work in a small town one hour north of San Francisco. The cost of living is very high. Median home prices are around $500,000.00 and gas is $4/gallon.

I made $56 hr per diem in San Jose , CA 10 yrs ago but quit due to unsafe conditions. Took a 1/2 pay cut to work in public health but absolutely worth it.
