  2. Memphis Pay Scale?

    Well it's not a ton, but the cost of living is cheap in Memphis. I just spent the past four months in Boston and sent out over 300 applications, and didn't get even one interview. I applied for a few jobs back in Memphis, and have four interviews nex...

    I am a new grad in Memphis, starting out at $21.50 (I'm getting paid .50 more an hour since I externed there). I'm working nights, so I'll get $4/hr shift differential.
  11. LPN VS RN

    If you want hospital work, go for the RN. Not sure what part of the state you are in, but in Memphis, most of the hospitals are no longer hiring LPNs anymore. St. Francis even laid off all of their currently working LPNs.
  12. I went into a Tier II position without being a Tier I first, I was hired within 6 months of graduation.
  13. MGH is offering new grad ICU internship for $11.44 an hour?
