Pay Scale

Hi! I see you're NC, as am I. Do you mind if I ask which part of the state? Because that will make a difference. Pay scales are pretty much based on cost of living for the area and what the other hospitals are paying. I'm in the Triangle area, and it seems to be around $18/hr now. There are some that pay more, like the VA.

Hope that's a little helpful!

I'm in Delaware, and I started out at 22.23/hr Sept. 2003 and am now making 24.05/hr. This is the day rate M-F in the OR.

Nice Christine!

I should clarify that the starting for new grads around here is about $18/hr. There are annual evaluation pay raises, etc. $24+/hr is pretty good.

It really does depend on where you live. You can always call the hospitals you're interested in (the nursing employment offices) and ask. I'm sure they get it all the time. Also, a lot of them have it on their websites.

New grads get a measly 16 something an hour!:uhoh21: But I guess the cost of living is lower here than other places.

In Southwest Ohio, new grads start out at a little over $19/hr, plus shift differentials.

It TOTALLY depends. If you have CNA or LPN experience, some hospitals are willing to pay extra for that, and others won't. Plus, the area you are in determines a lot of it.

If you are in NC, in the Greensboro/Winston Salem area, I know that winston salem pays better than greensboro. Greensboro starting pay is around $18/hr, and w/s is around 19-21/hr, depending on where you go, etc.

Good luck to you!!

here in new york city new graduates get paid $39.00/hr days/ $43.00/hr nights! that's pretty darn good if you ask me. the cost of living here in nyc is really expensive.

Does anyone know the pay for nurses in Florida? My mom lives in St. Pete, and I am currently in Illinois. I would like to be closer to her (plus live in sunny florida!!) How about Miami, or Ft. Lauderdale area?

According to another thread somewhere here on allnurses (don't remember it or I'd direct you to it)... I'd say base pay is around the same range being mentioned here ($18starting pay-$24average). Like someone else mentioned, you may find some listed on hospital websites' job opening pages.
