Yes, it is low, and the differentials aren't great there, either. I couldn't help my face when she said that, but she said that's what's on their "grid" for new grads, $31-32/hour. Freestanding psych units are like LTC and home health, where they just don't pay what acute care pays.

I have another offer for when I am licensed, but we haven't yet discussed salary. It's not flexible there, and I believe the base is $35 (may be higher), but the differentials are way better. It's the lowest paying hospital in this city (about an hour outside of SF), but the culture is better than the other public hospital, and Kaiser refuses to hire new grads (though they pay well).
