In Concord, CA the starting pay for a new grad at the hospital here is $43 something per hour. And the hospital in Walnut Creek is $42 something. The hospital in Fremont, CA starts their new grads at $44 something per hour. These places are about 30-40 minutes away from Oakland and San Francisco.

It's kind of scary to see how much inexperienced nurses are making around here. I mean a friend of mine has only been a nurse for 1 year and a half and she makes $50/hr and she gets $10 more working nights.
