Hi,

I am a BSN nursing student in colorado and am considering moving back to portland, but first I want to compare salaries. Does anybody know what the average new grad salary is? Thanks!

I will be a new grad this December and was looking on moving back home to Oregon also. I found that Providence starts at $26.99/hr, Legacy at $27.99/hr, and Tuality at $26.03/hr. I don't know the wage differentials for evenings and nights and OHSU doesn't list hourly wage on their website...hope this helps!

Starting at OHSU this summer I'll be making 28.71/hr with a 6/hr differential for nights. I do make a little more because of my BSN though. A friend of mine at Providence Portland is making the same amount.

Just graduated. Took job at an outpatient clinic working 4 10's weekdays only. starting pay is $28/hr. Works for me since i don't have to work weekends, nights or holidays! :D

Missypoo, may I ask what clinic you got a job at? Congrats, btw, it sounds like an ideal schedule!

Leanstreet, does OHSU really pay a little more for BSN?

Blacksea pebble... If you look at national statistics, most parts of the country are experiencing nursing shortages. Portland does not have a nursing shortage at the moment because we have so many schools churning out new grads. Being "saturated" doesn't mean you can't find a job just that there aren't as many openings as you find in California or Texas. Hope this helps clarify.

Yup, according to my manager anyway. Just got a 3% raise before even starting, woohoo.:D
