I think it's relative on where you live. I am in Northern NJ and make $37.19/hr with $4/hr extra for nights and $8/hr for weekend nights. I have 1 year experience and this is my first hospital job.

I think it depends where you are located, and how quickly you can get a job. I'm in the NY metro area and I know some classmates are still looking for a job, 1 year later.

Hi All! New user and first post here! I recently accepted a job on a mother/baby unit starting next week. It is a major university hospital with 6200-6400 births a year. I am still somewhat of a new grad, May 2013, with 11 months experience at a pediatric primary care office. I was hoping to get some questions answered/ advice given! Any time management secrets? What are some supplies/gadgets you keep in your pockets that you might need? Most common questions you get asked from parents? What should I review now before I am actually on the floor? Any preceptors, what would you say your new hires need most help with? I'm sure I will update the thread with more questions! I am nervous and excited and everything in between and just trying to grasp things a little before reality starts! Thanks all!! :)
