apenzes Specializes in Pediatrics/OB/L&D/NICU. Oct 13, 2010 My best friend just got hired on as a new grad in Denver and is making $25/hr. She is working nights though too which is a $4 differential so ultimately she is making $29/hr as a new grad! Im jealous! I hope I am that lucky once I graduate and start looking for jobs in May! 0 Likes
JenniferSews Specializes in Professional Development Specialist. Oct 13, 2010 I work in sub acute rehab and started days as a new grad for $28/hr. I have interviewed other places recently though and they are starting at $26.ETA- I graduated in Dec 09 and passed NCLEX before the end of 2009. I couldn't get a hospital job to save my life, but it worked out okay in the end. Many of us didn't get hospital jobs though. 0 Likes
