Starting Salary.

Just wondering....have you started out making at least $60,000/year?

thax i really got motivation from you. i am in last semester with 2 years old and due in nov. so going for c-sec in thaxgiving break and back to college just for two days. then i will be done. i hope i could do it.

hey rockenmom, where is point loma? and yeah i think i must have been insane to have been pregnant twice while in school. the lucky part was that i had them at the end of the spring semesters (had a baby and a week later i was taking my finals). i do know what you mean about the stress and putting your kids first, my now 16 month old was hospitalized last fall with rsv.... so of course i never left her side, and when the test came up... well... you win some, you loose some.... lets just say i didn't perform at my best.... luckily i did well on all my other exams... i guess also being pregnant made me push myself harder through school... like i had something to prove....and pregnancy was not going to be an excuse. :dncgbby: so why isn't there consistancy in pay across the nation? and why are nurse/patient ratios unbalanced as well.... is there something we can do to unite with the rest of the nation to balance this out??

If you want to make a lot of money as a nurse don't come to ND. I know the RNs here at the hospital make about $35,000 a year, Lpns barely break $20,000. I am going back to school this year for my RN then I am moving to civilization. :yeah:

which hospital do you work in? I spent three weeks as a patient in spectrum and 9 weeks total until both my premature twins came home... I love that hospital... that place is the reason I became a nurse! hopefully will be able to be a Nicu nurse someday.

In Texas, I can make between 54000 working nights, no OT, and 80000- nights, extra shift each week. My total pay this year will not be as much because I started out getting paid peanuts for orientation on dayshift, but lately I have been picking up an extra shift weekly and it sure is nice to bring home 2000+ per pay period!

Maine is now part of California Nurses Association/National Nurses Organizing Committee (CNA/NNOC) !!!!!!!We can bring nurses back to the bedside and turn this battered ship around. Nurses United are unstoppable!!!:yeah::yeah::yeah:

Does this mean that Maine will be a good place to work as a new RN?

Wow I thought RN's get paid over 30/hr starting off no matter where you work,so I'm greatful in getting this info.

In LA county,CALIFORNIA I'm getting paid 19/hr starting off as a LVN but I have a friend who started off @ 21/hr

My question is if or when I have a year experience or more as an lvn would that count for experience as a nurse to get a job as an RN grad not to get paid as an entry-level RN nurse?
