Stanford vs UC Salary New Grad

[kmalone]

I know UCLA's new grad starting salary is 47$/hour, was wondering If anyone knew of UCSF's, other UC's, and/or Stanford's.

Thanks in advance for any advice

For any UC, because they are government jobs, you can look up “UC (whichever one) salary scales”, sometimes you gotta throw a health in there or something. The title code for nurses with experience is 9139 or 9140 for new grads, that’s basically across all UCs. With that you can find the salary for new grad nurses at any of the UCs with a hospital: LA, Irvine, San Diego, Davis, SF I think is the list. There’s large geographical differences because NorCal nurses, especially Bay Area nurses, make muuuuch more than SoCal so it’s not comparable - UCSF and Stanford are comparable, but UCLA and Stanford are not. For geographical differences search “BLS OES *insert geographical metro area*” and then go to the healthcare section - it’ll show you the average RN salaries in that geographical area. Another good resource is Glassdoor. 

 

I do not personally know Stanford’s starting salary - I’d guesstimate $65 ish but that’s a very rough guess, that’s outside of my knowledge area.

Thank for replying and your insight. I was actually able to find it via a quick CRONA search, which Stanford uses.  But by your post, you actually guessed pretty close. Didn't realize bay area salary was so much higher than southern California. Thanks again.
