Philly area new grad pay

If you know what one of our local hospitals pay new grads, post it here!
I'll start: Jefferson and Methodist: 26$/hr base
Please add on!

That comes out to what...$42,000 a year after taxes (factoring in 40 work weeks?)

I wonder how much TJU would cost tuition wise if you go there for undgrad (undergrad (RN/NP)) cheaper? - and then work at the hospital.

That sounds about right...

I heard Penn starting is 26.75...can anyone confirm?

26.75 is correct for the starting pay for new grads at UPenn

Is this before or after you pass boards?

As far as I know, In Philly the salary is the same before and after passing.

CHOP is $24.50 for new grads. Less than alot of the other Philly hospitals, but great place to work if you want peds.

How much do you pay for parking and wage tax? I have been leaning toward CHOP but a few people told me the above factors can get expensive.

Do you hire new grads in the ER? I always imagine it as fast paced, an area where you need to know everything very quickly.ER has always interested me, but at the same time scared me a bit. I keep hearing how every new grad should work a year on med surg to become a good nurse, does anyone think this is true?

I have found an easy answer to this question. In my experience, med-surg nurses will tell you you must have a med surg background. Nurses who started in specialty areas will say that if you would prefer to start somewhere there, there is no problem if you acknowledge there is a steeper learning curve, and it will take longer to become proficient.
