Pay in LAFAYETTE

Published

I will be graduating from Charity in Dec 09 and was wanting to move to Lafayette. I was wondering if any Lafayette RNs could maybe give me an idea of how much starting pay would be. I already looked at salary.com and they are inaccurate and very general. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Specializes in Wound Care.

Pay is Very competive in the Lafayette area! I would say the starting avg. for a new grad would be about $25.00/hr.

Of course there is many things to consider when asking for starting pay scale. Full time hosp work? Nsg. Home supervision?? Home Health?? or even agency work..

agency around here pays about $42.00-$45.00 per hr. but most will require a least 1 year exp.

good luck let me know if you have any other questions..

If you have 2 years of critical care COME TO LAFAYETTE we need yoU!! Just sign up with an agency like mine. I work a 2 day a week contract (12 hour shifts) at a local hospital for 13 weeks. This is my 2nd contract in this hospital's ICU. I get paid 42/HR with health insurance benefits. I work for Symmetric Healthcare (http://www.symmetrichcs.com.com) or sign up for in house registry at one of the local hospitals. You will guarnetee your self at least 35.HR at the very least!!
