RN pay in the Bay Area, CA?

Nurses General Nursing

Published

Hi everyone! I am a new grad RN in the Bay Area. I was hoping someone could share the starting pay for new grad nurses in hospitals across the Bay Area (Kaiser, Sutter, Stanford, UCSF, El Camino Hospital, SCVMC, etc). I know that if the hospital I unionized then the pay will be posted online, but I’m having trouble finding them. Any insight would be very helpful! 

Specializes in ACNP-BC, Adult Critical Care, Cardiology.

UCSF is posted online, the starting pay for Clinical Nurse 1 is $68.30 per hr:

Kaiser Permanente is not posted online (you have to be an employee to see the wage structure)...but their Staff Nurse 1 starts at $65.05 per hr.

Monterey/Salinas area $60 for a new grad, you bump up quickly (within 5 years) to $75

There's nothing "wow" about it unless you're okay with paying $700,000 for a 500 square foot apartment.

Provided you can find the 500 square foot apartment to pay the $700,000 for.
