New grad pay scales around the state

Published

Can someone tell me what a new grad (May '05) nurse can expect to make in different areas of Virginia, and who are the best employers to work for (in your opinion, of course)? Thanks.

I think the topic is appropriate for an open forum. The Hospitals don't want you to know what each other make$. The hospital I just left in Arlington had new grads starting at about $23/h. up from $21. I didn't see any gender bias or any other bias for pay. Also, their night diff and weekend diff's were, on the whole, quite nice @ $4 each. Plus they have an in-house registry which allows you extra shifts at $10 bonus rate. The money is very nice, but it won't make you happy. My coworkers were the best part of my job.
