NEW GRAD PAY???

Published

School is NOT easy and for some of us it definitely isn't cheap. For an upcoming new grad like myself I am curious to what new grads make. As we all know every region is different so please help us out. What is the pay for new grads WITHIN THE PAST 3 YEARS?

Please Input:

City/State:

Position:

Housing/Rent in area:

Have you ever been to Chicago? It's expensive but not NEW YORK expensive. I suspect the cost of living here is lower that your state. The Chicagoland area encompasses the city and the area that surround it for about 90 miles. It's the Midwest! I was born and raised here...so I think it's worth it. I like what I make for the hours I work

Thanks you. I will definitely encourage her

I know greatly of 3 areas the best because I have been working in two of them and have had job offers in all 3 areas when I was a new grad RN last year.

City/State: Northern Virginia

Position: RN I (New Grad RN)

Pay: $25/hr new grad RN pay with $4-5 differential (for the 2 major hospital systems in this area)

Benefits: Full-time benefits for 36 hours/week

Housing/Rent in area: Depends on how far you are from DC or a Metro station and how nice your place is. Some 1 bed/1 bath apartments in Arlington can be as high as $6k/month but some can be much less than that like $1900/month for a 2 bed/2 bath 30 minutes from DC.

City/State: Washington, D.C.

Position: Clinical RN I

Pay: $28/hr new grad RN pay with $4-8 differential (generally)

Benefits: Full-time benefits for 36 hours/week

Housing/Rent in area: Obviously it's really expensive if you live within D.C. Many people who work in D.C. live in Northern Virginia or Southern Maryland and they commute. You're looking at $1.5k starting for a decent studio/1 bed.

City/State: Richmond, VA (and possibly Charlottesville, VA)

Position: Clinical Nurse I

Pay: $21.57/hr new grad RN pay with $4-8 differential

Benefits: Full-time benefits for 36-40 hours/week

Housing/Rent: Much cheaper than DC/Northern Virginia. Rent for a 1 br/bath can range from $500-1200 depending on the area and amenities.
