Hi Everyone,

I've just recently accepted a position in NICU. I am a new graduate, and the pay i'm getting isn't much different from the Med/Surg unit I'm leaving. I'm just wondering what some of you started out making in the NICU? The pay doesn't change my decision or bother me. I'm extremly happy, grateful, and excited to have gotten this position. Just curious

There's no pay difference between floors in the hospital I'm starting at either. It's pretty universal in the area I'm in.

We get paid more, but it's because it's ICU. There's a differential if you do ICU in my hospital.

My hospital is more for ICU nurses, although we don't have a NICU.

There is no difference in starting pay between units in the hospital where I work either...although we NICU nurses certainly wouldn't mind if there was:)
