NJ Salary

Published

I am relocating to NJ soon, and trying to research Salaries with RN's in the area. For just a basic staff nurse, mysalary.com states that in Southern Jersey the range for an RN is 53K-75K....Just by a show of yes/no, can anyone provide me with input as to if this is correct? I have put several applications/resumes out, and want to be prepared for negotions when the time comes. I would appreciate any feedback as to if this range is correct.

I am actually specialized in the OB field, but cannot find much information on further specialization ranges.

Thanks for the help!

If ur going into an acute care hospital in NJ, most places pay Staff RNs on an "experienced-based salary scale", which equals your # yrs experience as an RN. I won't say there's NO negotiation, but it's quite limited. Reason I know that is that I used to be an HR Director/exec in NJ hospitals, and I'm very familiar with compensation practices. Again, the flexibility is usually pretty limited.

So that range you're quoting (and is accurate), ranges from a new RN with no experience, up thru a 20-25 yr experienced RN.

Hope this helps.
