$ pay scale range

I'm a new grad with a BSN, passed boards, and living near Saint Louis, Missouri. I make $21.18 per hour.

i'm a new grad with a bsn, passed boards, and living near saint louis, missouri. i make $21.18 per hour.

right here can satisfy the op's curiosity. i am a new grad lpn in connecticut and i make just under $25 per hour. kalipsored is a bsn and makes almost $4 less than me.

of course the cost of living in ct is much higher than in missouri.

pay scale is very dependant on the state you live in, the area of the state etc. there is no way rn's here would work for the ranges i've seen in other states. people would never go to college for 2,3, 4 yrs to make what i've seen, then again, you can't live on that here either.

i laugh when i see people saying on this board.."you make $32 per hr...heck i only make $19..i'm moving to (fill in the state). thing is your bills will also go way way up, it all evens out, less pay with lessor cost of living equal more pay with higher cost of living.

i need to find a state with a decent cost of living that pays their nurses well....

I am a new grad with my Associate's. I am starting at $22.50/hr with 10% shift differential for night shift.

thanks for responding to those that have..I know it is a bit personal but it helps me to know what to expect. there is a huge diff depending on where you live. bottom line = nurses should make more money

In grand rapids michigan 22.40 for new grads. not sure about the diff, depends on hospital

I'm a new grad (ADN) working on a neurology/med-surg floor of a hospital in Louisville, KY, and I'm starting at $20.45/hour for 1st shift. I believe night shift makes a 15% differential.

I work at a hospital in alabama. Working nights make 24.25. I work just weekends 7p-7a fri sat and sun, just for working weekends you make 37.75.

I am an lpn living in ohio with 16 years of experience, I make 20.27 an hour as an mds nurse

Moved to General Nursing Discussion for more answers.

RN that graduated in may with 1.5 yrs LPN experience on orthopedic floor in richmond, va making 20.75. Get an extra 4.75 for working 4-8 when working 12's and extra 5 dollars on the week-ends.
