depends on where you work

Depends on the State/Hospital. In our hospital (and most other) no difference between BSN or ADN. Starting $ 25/hr, $ 4.25 night diff.

Whuch places give you a well base salary?

Highest paid area is the bay area in CA ($45-50). Of course it's VERY hard to find jobs in high paid areas, especially for new grads.

i HATE to admit this, but i got a job offer that i actually accepted. I'm getting paid $20/hour...they offered me $19/hour, i was able to negotiate to 20.

I turned another job down where i would be making $24/hour. Why did i turn it down?....it was 4 hours away from my fiance!! at this crap payed job i have, im atleast with him. What can i say!??

It does make me really kind of upset because its a bigger/well known hospital, so its not like they are hurting for money any...

Canada: 33 to 34 dollars per hour base, plus 5.00 per hour night differential. Varies slightly by Province.

Sweet :)

I think some of the US states pay way too low for RNs

Up here, our CNA's make 20 to 21 dollars per hour.

It's crap for new RN's. Doesn't matter where you are. If you are in California making $35 an hour, it's because cost of living is way high. In Florida where cost of living is low, it is much lower. Look at it as a continuation of your training, kind of like a paid residency. The money will come with some time.
