RN starting salary in OKC

Published

I really have no clue how much new grads are making starting out. I've heard about $18/hr base plus differentials--does that sound about right? How much does the average RN with experience make after a few years?

Marilyn (who should be getting her acceptance/rejection letter in the mail today--I'm so excited!! Wish me luck! I'll post later, I'm pretty confident I'm getting in)

Shift differentials mean that if you made an hourly rate of say 18.00 and you work the pm shift (3-11pm.) then add $2.00 to your base pay. If you work nights (11-7am), then add $2.50, etc. If you just work days, then your hourly rate is the same.

PS. Most hospitals have their own rate of shift diffs.

so, they may vary a little

Thank you for taking the time to answer that question. I wasn't sure how it worked either so I found this very helpful!!

I know working in LTC their is more money to be made. I make more than $18/hr as a LPN in a LTC facility.( and only been a nurse for a year) If you enjoy working with the elderly you may consider working in LTC. The RNs where I work make about $25-27/hr. Plus their is always opportunities for overtime:)
