Since I graduated in Dec. 08, I've worked as an RN at a day health facility (kind of like a senior center - participants don't stay overnight) in SF & I get paid $30/hr. I saw a nursing home position that paid $36-$38, DOE, though.

what nursing facility are you applying? do they still hire nurses without experience?

Anyone have any updated information on this?

I'm a new grad and have been extended an informal offer to work at a convalescent hospital in Pasadena, CA. Contact with management has been through a family friend thus far but in the course of their conversation, they apparently told her they'd pay me "twenty-something" an hour.

Well, that sounds pretty vague, 1st off, and 2nd, that seems incredibly low for a licensed RN, even for a nursing home. Can anyone shed some light on whether this is a going rate in the L.A. area, or if I should steer clear. I don't wanna even bother calling the facility before I have some idea of what I'm getting myself into.

I'd happily work for minimum wage in a hospital to start off at this point, but seeing as the quality of these nursing homes can range from reputable to shady, I'm reluctant to take an offer from a facility that doesn't even have its own website, has been written up in the newspaper recently for citations they've received for poor patient care, and is offering a pay rate that seems off to me. We all need to get experience as new grads somehow, but I worry that this might not be the best way.

Any info and advice would be much appreciated!

PPhillipRN-I'm a cna working at a convalescent center and since I'm so curious, I asked my fellow RN co-workers what their hourly pay is and they said $25! I do also believe that they are being underpaid! The lvns working their make about $22! RN's go to school longer and have more work to do than a LVN. I really think they should start getting paid $30 and up!...sorry for getting off topic for a bit but i hope that answers your question.

And that's in California I take it? Thank you so much for your reply.

that is super low i believe. I also have asked fellow co-workers what their hourly wage is and I was told by one of them that his wage was 35 and he had about a year under his belt before he worked at the SNF. I'm in the Sacramento area if that helps.
