Specializes in Pediatrics Only.

I have to ask, where in PA are you looking at?

WilkesBarre/Scranton Area - anywhere from 18-22 an hour

Harrisburg Area- around 22 an hour

Philidelphia Area- probably the same, around 22-24 an hour

Those are the only ones I know of!

HUP starts out with $24-$26.75 and more for experience and sign on bonuses.

These salaries are for new graduates: Main Line Health which includes Paoli, Bryn Mawr and Lankanau pays $26.41, Chester County Hospital in West Chester pays $25, Christiana Hospital pays a little over $26 and Crozer which includes Crozer-Chester Medical Center, Springfield Hospital, Taylor Hospital and Delaware County pays $27.48 starting at the end of May. Crozer is also unionized.

Hope this helps

quick question everyone...if those are the starting salary rates, how much will they go up in 2, 3, or 4 years. so what would an RN be making if say they were a nurse in the operating room for like 3 years?

thanks

Specializes in oncology, transplant, OB.

Where did you (both Meghan and chiynadol) find out how much those hospitals paid? Was it just from past experience/word of mouth? I'm not graduating until May but I want to get job applications out in January so I've been searching for a website that ranks nurse satisfaction levels of hospitals in the Phila area but I can't seem to find one!

A community hospital in Delaware County, after 12 years my base is $36.20.

I just started at Penn for 27 something. Jefferson is about the same, maybe a 0.15 difference.

Hi Fiesty- Is that starting salary for a ADN or BSN or doesn't it matter? Thank

Rosemary- It is for BSN. HUP doesn't hire ADNs anymore, I think.
