Here in Illinois at the facility I work the new grad starts out at $24.25, however, within a year new grads will be up to $27.50.(dayshift) There is one local hospital that pays RN's with 5 years experience $42.00/hr. Hope this helps.
With all due respect, hasnt this subject been closed in a previous post from you???? I think that many nurses who have the EXPERIENCE and could comment on this from their own perspective know more about working these 12 hour shifts than your subject...
