We have had several hospitals come speak to us at school. Baptist is paying !6.50 hr, singing river is paying 16.50 hr, CMMC stated that they just raised their pay to 18.50 hr and UMC is $20.00 an hour. there is a rumor that Baptist is about to announce an increase by the end of the year?? there are still the differential increases for nights, weekends,etc. our class won't graduate until 2008 so hopefully more increases by then!

What are you doing to make 35 Hr?? I start ADN program in a few weeks and already wondering if I need to get some additional certifiction in cardiac care or oncology to make more money in the long term. I work as a tech in a jaxsn hospital and have seen about 15 nurses leave in last 4 months most for more $$ and less headache!

Anyone know what pay rate is for GN's at for profit hospitals in Jackson area? My friend was told that a nurse manager could make 100k based on profitability of the area you manage. I work as an er tech in charitable hospital and have seen 12 nurses leave in three months. Is life better at for profits or just doing clinical hours 8-5 m-f?

Whichever you apply Hinds or Holmes-stay on top of it and check on you application often. You're likely to get different answers on status according to who you talk to!!

Had a great meeting with an AD RN program director friday. Looks as if I may get in this Fall!:) I also plan to take some classes that will apply to my eventual RN to BSN program since I already have a BS dgree and will not have to take oral comm, west civ etc. So how much $$ can you make in Mississippi? I hearing from 18.00 hr to six figures as a nurse manager or sales:uhoh3:

Any "techniques" on just getting into a program? I currently have two applications in and will have another in by 4/15. Hinds has a waiting list and says may be a year wait!
