That was the last number quoted to me by a person I know at HR. I don't personally work there, although I know quite a few people who do
Well, like I said, I don't know if it varies from unit to unit or whatever, but I make about 38,000/yr and been there almost three months. And the benefits are excellent too.

Im hoping someone can clear something up for me here...
My best friend is starting the Accelerated BSN program at Barnes Jewish in St Louis in May 08. She was apparently told by a nurse friend of hers that new grad RNs start around $44/hr base in Southern IL (where she currently lives and is planning to move back to after school).
Im an ER RN in Dallas and we dont start anywhere NEAR that... I cant imagine the cost of living in Southern Illinois is that much higher than Dallas that it would warrant such a dramatic change. (LA and NYC dont even start new grads that high!)
Any insight?
Im concerned that she's making a lot of plans for after graduation based on false information that she was given and that she'll have a rude financial awakening with her first job.
