The title says it all: what are average SD salaries for RNs with 2+ years experience? Specifically, what's the pay like for psych nurses?I'd like to have an idea of what to ask for when it comes up in the job applications and interviews. I moved to Cali from one of the worst-paying areas for RNs, and I don't want to undersell myself by asking for a too-low rate (since that's what I've been used to getting )Thanks in advance! 0 Likes

TheCommuter, BSN, RN Specializes in Case mgmt., rehab, (CRRN), LTC & psych. Has 15 years experience. Oct 9, 2011 With 2 years of experience, I wouldn't be shocked if the San Diego wages have deflated to the high $20s and low $30s per hour for an RN with 2 years of psych experience. 0 Likes
