RN

Recent Grad (Dec. 2000)

$22.34 to start with $2.10 shift diff.

Med/surg

So California

every six months for the next 2 yrs I will get a 5% raise. Also contract negtotiations going on with proposed 6% increase and shift diff increase. BTW I could make a LOT more if I wanted to commute to LA but I don't think the extra $5 bucks an hour is worth the traffic headaches.

last week on tv here in new zealand, it was quoted that in the usa an experienced nurse will earn the equivalent of nz$190,000 a year....thats about $90,000 a year in us dollars.

(a lot of new zealand nurses go overseas because the pay is better in australia, canada, america, england, and is particularly good in dubai).

we have shocking rates of pay here in new zealand, experienced nurses earning around nz$42,000 per year (that's less in us dollars - comes to about us$20,000 - 25,000 a year.) pathetic isn't it.

and they wonder why all the nurses are leaving.

there are so many job ads from overseas in the nursing journals, and newspapers. mind you, i realise there is a world wide shortage of nurses.

well, that's all. i am still a student, so at the present time i earn zilch, zero, and nuthin at all!

:eek: arial 12 here in new zealand
