Midwest to Texas NICU nurse send help

U.S.A. Texas

Specializes in Nicu.

Hi, all first of all I really appreciate you all reading and taking time to help. I currently reside in the Midwest. My husband works in IT and received a job offer in San Antonio that would really be amazing for his career. So, I am moving to texas. I have 2 years of experience at both a level 3 and a level 4 I have my CCRN-NIC. I am hoping to work in a NICU with an amazing team, I am so blessed to have the best staff at my current hospital and am so sad to leave. However, I have had phone interviews with some large childrens hospitals and they offered me 29 dollars an hour non-negotiable per the recruiters. Is this typical for texas? I currently make 32 dollars an hour on day shift and honestly I thought that was on the lower end for nurses I’ve heard some new grads say they make over my hourly pay. All the positions I have applied for have been night shift I know I will be hard pressed to find a day shift position and that is okay. I’m just trying to figure out where I should be applying/ what I should expect because I was a little shocked with the offers.
