I live in MO I think the start out pay for a new grad is 9.30/hr. hosp. I currently make 11.51/+shift diff. I've been an lpn 15 yrs IV cert. Small town. ltc is just a little higher not much maybe 1-2 $/hr. does any one know what the rate of pay in UT is?

chances are depending on your area, that nicu would probably be unobtainable at this time. Ususally though once you get your foot in the door and get some experience you can move to another area of expertise. I recommend starting med/surg first to get some very valuable experience it then makes everything else fall into place when you go into a specialty area. Also even if you aren't required by you hosp. take classes such as ACLS, PALS, etc this will also broaden your horizens and lets managers know how serious you are about nursing.
