Specializes in Med-Surg Nursing.

I work at a hospital in Ashtabula Ohio, about 75 miles east of Cleveland and I make $19.63 an hour(base wage). I work 3-11:30 pm 5 days a week and get a 5% shift differential for evening shift. I've been at this hospital since December 200 and they paid me above the starting wage for a new grad because I have 3+ years experience and I have a BSN with no certification and will have been in nursing for 4 years in August.

And this is a Unionized hospital(the RN's)

Specializes in NICU.

I got a job in a NICU in October 2000 as a new grad RN (so no prior experience). I work nights and make $20.57/hour. My base pay is $17.57, with a $3.00 night shift differential. I have an RN and BSN.

The starting base pay (new grad with no experience, ADN or BSN) at most hospitals here in San Diego, CA seems to be around $16-17/hour.

Based on the other posts I've read, that sounds pretty decent for a new grad, but I live in the San Diego area. Cost of living is high here. Decent 2 bedroom apartments are at least $900-1000/month and you probably won't find a house to buy for under $200,000. And that's for a basic house, not a nicey-nice one. So it doesn't sound so good if you want to buy a house, considering you're likely looking at a $2000/month mortgage! That's my entire monthly pay!

Any nurses from the San Francisco area want to respond? I'd like to know what you guys get paid. Cost of living is even higher there!

Are they going agency? Here are some rates from Agencies in the Southern NH area:

RN one year exp.

LTC 20-29/hr

hosp 25-47/hr

Each is dependant on which agency you work for and what shift. The 47/hr is for ICU 11-7 Charge.

Each Agency has medical insurance, but is costly. I just bought a blue/cross plan for 46/mo to cover major medical.

Some agency have earned time policies as well. The perks are up and coming and so are the wages.

Good Luck.
