New Grad Pay in Texas?

Published

I'm a new grad in Texas. I was just wondering what was a normal base pay as a new grad (with your specialty)?

Thanks!

Specializes in Case mgmt., rehab, (CRRN), LTC & psych.
currently doing pre-reqs for a nursing program. I have a previous bachelor's and work a full time job in global logistics.

My main question is concerning the pay scale for nurses. When I calculate my yearly salary - I multiply my hourly by 2080 ( 40 hrs/week x 52 wks a year ).

Is this an accurate way to calculate nursing salary or is it completely different. Any info would be greatly appreciated by this "newbie"

Thanks ! and congrats to all the new hires.

Most nurses in a hospital setting work 36 hours per week (three 12 hour shifts) for about 50 weeks per year.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed information.

I was perusing this post because I am in the process of applying to a job as a new graduate and part of the application required me to put in my expected salary/hourly wage.

New grad pay is highly dependent upon the city. . .

Dallas/Fort Worth - $22 to $25 hourly at major acute care hospitals

San Antonio - $19 to $23 hourly at major acute care hospitals

Austin - $19 to $23 hourly at major acute care hospitals

Houston - $23 to $27 hourly at major acute care hospitals

WOW- I hope this has gone up a lot in 7 years! Does anyone know the 2019 average? I was considering moving to TX (from CO) within a year.
