Chris- I heard through the grapevine from a friend who's parents are longtime nurses there that starting pay is 24.50

It might be worth checking into at some point, since there's a pretty big difference between that and 29. Not that it matters right now...graduation isn't for a little while, lol :D

Two of my friends just graduated from nursing school (they were both CNAs for Lifespan and then hired as RNs) and they told me they were each offered $29 + differentials. I also heard a few other nurses mention they were offered similar amounts as new grads who were hired within the past year or so.

I'm just going with with I've been told... Who really knows though until we each get our own offers? lol

Chris,

Do you know what their schedule is like? Is it three 12 hour shifts? Days, evenings, nights, or a combination? I guess that all depends on the unit, but I was wondering because I remember hearing a couple years ago that Memorial Hospital will schedule nurses for 36 hours per week and that's considered full time. Sometimes nursing job listings will list full time as 40 hours and others will list full time as 36 hours. Just curious :)

I was told that $20 and above is good for a LTC in RI...also, I am a new grad and just hoping for a job offer from anyone.

Oh really? I would try to get more than $20, but I hear what you're saying. Any job will do if you're a new grad and want to get experience. Good luck on your job search. I'll be in your shoes next year!
