RN w/ BSN starting salary

[CTGuy]

I'm heavily weighing the option of going for an Accelerated BSN, and was wondering what the starting wage/salary was for those of you with this degree working as an RN. I don't feel that the money is that important, but want to know what i'll be getting into financially. Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

In Wichita, Kansas, Via Christi (I was told by the director of surgery) is raising its minimum pay for RN's from $18 to $22. I believe they also max out at $31.50 or so. This is not counting shift differential.
