RN Salaries, Hospitals in East Coast

Published

Hi,

My girl friend is interested in relocating from the west to the east coast. We are particularly interested in the Philladelphia, Delaware, MD, DC, NY, NJ areas.

What are some of the nice hospitals with good working conditions in any of these areas?

What are the salary scales. She is an B. Sc (RN) with about 10 years of experience.

Thanks in advance for your responses.

(message cross-posted in each of the above geographic forums).

cheers, MN

I live and work in Monmouth County, NJ. This area was rated high on Money Magazine's list of great places to live last year. She can probably expect to make >$25.00 per hour in a hospital before shift diff, cert pay, charge etc...

I have worked in 2 area hospitals in the past 15 years. Salaries are comparable, but I highly recommend working in a unionized facility. I never thought I'd say it, but there is so much less nonsense.

Good luck

The hospitals in northen jersey start with $27.50 plus $2.50 shift differential.

The experience also counts.

I work two long term care facilities. One is a per-diem position in Ocean County for $33.50 per hour, no benefits. I get a few more bucks an hour if I work 3-11 or on Fri-Sat-Sun. Double time on holidays.

My other position is in Mommouth County, $32/hr with health benefits and pro-rated vacation/sick/holiday pay, because I only work 24 hours per week there.

I am an RN, with a non-nursing Bachelor's degree. I have been a nurse 16 years.

IF you don't mind me asking ( you can m me the info if too personal) What hospital do you work at, I am looking in that area, is Williamstown, NJ near there. is $30-35 for New grads? or is that rate only for experienced Nurses.

Are they hiring New grads?
