Nashville Hospitals shift length?

Hello everyone,

I am also someone who is thinking of relocating to Nashville as a new grad RN. I was wondering if I could get some help from some of the locals.

1. Can anyone tell me which hospitals have 8 hour shifts???........I'm doing some research and it appears at first glance that most hospitals in the area are 12 hour shifts.

2. Can anyone tell me what I should expect to make as a new grad RN in the Nashville area hospitals.......I'm getting differing results from different sources and I would like to know from some of you who actually work in the area.

Thank you for any help you can give me!!!!

I don't know of any hospitals here that have 8 hours shifts. The only places I know that do would be LTC facilities. In Nashville, new grad pay is about $16.50/hr.

I don't know of any hospitals here that work eight hour shifts, either. There is a hospital in Gallatin, TN which is down I-65 from Nashville (about 30-45 minutes) that still does some eight hour shifts. It is called Sumner Regional Medical Center. They have a website if you were to be interested.

I graduate in May, the research I have done, base pay is between 17-19/hour. I know Vanderbilt starts at 17.68 with $3/hour night shift diff and a $6/hour weekend shift diff.They pay $1 more an hour for critical care, as well.
