pay rates in California (pre-and post tax)

Published

hello, i was reading post from here and found something interesting. i live here in san diego, california and about to take nclex this coming march. if i will be lucky, next thing is, i need to find a hospital to adopt me lol... but of course everything will depend on how much are they gonna pay me. san diego is a very expensive place to live as well. i have known some nurses here who are being paid 27/hr as starting salary. i wondered why san francisco nurses are being paid 35/hr up to $70/hr!. i would like to ask how much is the starting salary for nurses all over california (special unit and regular ward). i can choose any city in california but i cannot go out of ca because of the child custody of my husband with my step son. pls help me find and compare salary scales amongst california cities. i am an ex-uk (london) nurse and i have very little idea about california pay scale differences and taxes. any info. is valuable. thanks so much.

my friend works as a travel nurse in AZ and she said shes been paid $42/hr + OT plus $10,000 sign on bonus for 2 years. its been her 2 years and 5 months in the USA and she was able to buy a 3 br house by herself... not bad huh?

P.m. Sent. I'm interested!
