My husband might be getting a new job in Tulsa. I haven't been there yet and am wondering what it's like, what nursing is like there, pay, etc. I read some threads that said new grads start around $18 plus diff, etc. I have been an RN for over 2 years now, mostly ICU. Base pay is from $20.5 (for new grads) and up, plus $4 night shift diff and $3 for any weekend shift worked ( at least where I work). I always heard NC had low RN pay, but it sounds like OK is lower?
Is there a shortage there? It always seems like we're short here, and our patients keep coming and coming.
What hospitals are good for ICU or ER? I've heard good things about St Francis. Anyone know anything about tuition reimbursement?
What's the weather like? City life?
Thanks for any info.
