pardon me but where in NJ are you making $32/hr with only 5 years experience unless that counts a shift differential, certification diff or degree diff???? You don't have to give me the hospital but would appreciate the city.

How funny, when I graduated from UT Houston school of nursing in 1994, there were NO nursing jobs available for new grads. Nursing shortages seem to run in cycles. Now they're paying top dollar. I'm so happy for you. TX Children's is a wonderful hospital and I know you earn every dollar you make!

Moved to California, made $23.00 an hour as endoscopy nurse, then went into assisted living management, made 47K.

Lost my job last week, so I'm really looking around. Now I'm seriously considering moving back to Houston :-)

I've been doing some serious job hunting. Here's what I've found. Tampa, Florida pays approx. $30/hour for nurses plus.

Houston, TX pays the same. Hattiesburg, MS pays $19.20 per hour with 7 years experience (I'm quoting here). California pays from $24.00 - $30 an hour depending on where you live.

The real scoop is the cost of living. Unbelievable cost of living in CA as well as state taxes. Florida has no state tax, neither does TX. MS has very very low cost of living, but not enough to off-set that low of pay. There you have it.

RN

5 years

ICU, MS, ER, Psych, LTC, Rehab and a little OR (They call me FloatGuy) :)

Typically $30-37/hr (made about $90k last year)

Agency work in Eastern Kansas

Pretty Good Benefits including 401k, health dental vision indemnity insurance, short and long term disability, about 7 days paid vacation a year, etc.

Top rate I ever made was $60/hr ($40 @ time and a half due to OT)

On the flip side. A staff nurse working hospital job in Topeka is bringing in about $15-24/hr with similar or fewer benefits.
