It's hard to answer your question without knowing where you're located.

Pay varies drastically according to geographic region. New grad RNs in rural southern Georgia can start out at less than $19/hr, whereas the sane new grad status will result in $50+ hourly in a high cost-of-living place such as San Francisco. In essence, new grad RN pay rates are all over the place.

$27/hr for a new grad RN would be competitive in the area where I live (Dallas/Fort Worth, TX). However, you have not disclosed where you live.

The new grad pay rate you quoted sounds competitive for LTAC hospitals in Houston.

In Cleveland, Ohio I started at $26/hr day shift (27 when rotating to nights) at a major hospital. However, my orientation period was 75% pay for those 3 months. So, in my mind, starting at 27 (which is what I'm at after a year) is a great thing!

My current workplace does not hire new grads (I work for an insurance company as an RN case manager). I have 10 + years of nursing experience.

My previous job, which I left at the end of last year, paid new grad RNs $23/hr.

I started at $ 22.7 in Kansas City, Kansas.

When taking the lower than average cost of living in Houston and its surrounding areas into consideration, $27 is a competitive new grad RN rate of hourly pay.

I'd say that'd be more than competitive where I live in Denver, Colorado. New grads are getting $21-23/hr and our state is packed, cost of living has sky rocketed. My sister who has been a Med Surg RN for 4 years makes the same $27 base at the hospital here.
