Oklahoma City New Grad Nurses

U.S.A. Oklahoma

Published

Hello!

I have been told starting pay for new grads is 18-19/hr for Mercy, Integris, St. Anthonys, etc, and about $20/hr for OU. Does anyone know the shift diffs for these hospitals? I am planning on working nights and weekends when first starting out to earn some extra starting $$$.

Thanks!

Can y'all confirm that it's true $22/hr is new grad starting pay before differentials in Tulsa? I live in Muskogee but once I'm done with nursing school, I plan to relocate to Tulsa and try to get an ICU job.

Only one hospital in Tulsa pays $22 an hour. The rest will be closer to $20. HR will lie and tell you they pay less because they have better benefits, but they don't.

I can confirm when I started at a large Tulsa hospital in May 2012 that my base pay before differentials was 21.75. Since then base pay has increased to 22.50 for new grads. Differentials are as follows, shift 1 none, shift 2 $4, shift 3 $4.25, weekend $4. This remains the same to date. Also, I was a new grad in the ED, a critical care area the others being ICU. I know very few individuals who were new grads hired directly to critical care areas without being an extern for that department and/or a tech for the department. I was both prior to becoming an RN, granted it was for less than year before I graduated. But it obviously payed off. The new grad pay is reflective of a clinical nurse I. After 1 year experience in critical care areas you become a clinical nurse IV with a $2/hr raise in base pay plus your annual evaluation pay raise. I currently have a base pay over $24/hr with only 1.5 years RN experience. Also my hospital as the best incentive pay for extra shifts, OT time and half over 40 hours and $10.00/hr incentive for any shift over 36 hours in one week.

Hope this helps.

I was given this information today by the recruitment person. This is for OU (OU Medical Center, Children's Hospital, and OU-Edmond).

New grads base pay: $19.75 per hour

Evening differential (3p-11p): $2.35 ($22.10)

Night differential (11p-7a): $2.60 ($22.35)

Weekend differential (11p on Friday-7a on Monday): $3.00 on top of the $2.60 night diff. so $5.60 ($25.35)

Which hospital pays that much?

Sounds like Hillcrest Medical Center. I have a friend who works there and has told me about the same incentive pay.
