$ pay scale range

[parrot07]

Hi All,,

I don't want to get to personal, but for those of you that are ok with sharing some info, would you mind telling me what the range of hourly pay is around your neck of the woods? I hear many different amounts and I am just curious if the pay can differ as much as it seems. I am just looking for an average range.

Thanks

New grad RN with an ADN. I work for the Inova hospital system in Northern Virginia, and new grads start at $25/hour. Not sure if it's different for BSN grads, as I'm not one. :) My shift diff is $4/hr weekends, $7/hr weekend evenings, $3/hr evenings. I'm going to be working mostly weekend days/evenings when I'm off orientation (at my request -- my husband is a tattoo artist and works every weekend, so I like to do the same!).

Cost of living is high in the NoVA area, which is why I live about 50 miles west of where I work. Thank goodness for my hybrid vehicle!

I accepted a position at a hospital here in Iowa...my base salary is $47,980, which working 36/hr a week equals $27.76/hr. Then there is a $3/hr shift diff for evenings, $3.50/hr for nights. $2.00/hr for weekends, and $10.00/hr for working an extra shift not scheduled.

One employer $19/hr, the other $18/hr, both are home health. Home health wages stay fairly stagnant because the employers say they can't go higher because of reimbursement rates. When Medical says they are going to cut reimbursement by 10% the employers start rumbling about lowering the wage. Back in 05 one of my former employers cut wages by 5% based on the claim of decreased reimbursement, then increased it again. Clients and employees complained to the state and were told that no such decrease had taken place.
