Starting Salary

A girl I went to school with just started at a Boston hospital for $25/hr.

Hope that helps!

Atlanta, Georgia. A friend of mine get almost 21 dollars. about 3-4 dollars for evening and night shift-differential. Most hospital here pay around $19-21.

Far away from Atlanta like in Rome Georgia, they start only at 17.50.

Huh! Pay is low here. However, you can get apartment around Atlanta suburb around 600 dollars and a private room with bathroom in a house with 400-450 dollars. Gas price is ok here. Just enough to make a living.

Well it definitely sounds as though it evens out. I can't even imagine finding an apartment in Boston for $600! I would say you would be looking at $1100 to start. The suburbs are less, I am about half hour away from the city and a one bed is between $875 and $900. The cost of living is just crazy in Massachusetts, but you find a way to get by!

Well.according to my friend who live in atlanta told me. if it is 2 bedroom and 2 bathroom, it probably costs as much as 800-900 a month, but if you can find a roommate, it will save a lot!!

one bedroom apartment probably 600-700. of couse, in atlanta or buckhead probably higher. But his area is only 20-30 min from downtown area.

renting a room a house is 400-500, that probably I will do to start with.

I am a new Grad with my BSN. I am starting out at $25 and change. I am at a top paying hospital in Boston. Hope that helps you out.

Good day to all! Trying to find out the starting salary for new grads in the area. Thanks for all responses!

Hi there.. The top paying hospital in Boston is Brigham and Womens, as it is a unionized hospital. Also look into New England Medical Center, and Mass General. Both pay well too. I work at one of the three. :) Good luck! Boston is a wonderful city to work in as a nurse.

Thanks bostonnurse98. That is helpful. I am starting a 3 month assignment in a comunity hospital but not sure if that is for me yet. I have only worked in a Level 1 hospital.

Acutally, the top paying hospital for RN's in Boston is Dana Faber, then Brigham and Women's. They are pretty close, but b/c the Faber is so specialized in Onc, they pay the best. Beth Israel is a salary based hospital which is pretty unusal. I think they run about $50,000 a year. Children's pays ~$23/hr. Mass General which is also Partners affilated like the Brigham, but not unionized, just got a raise and is now also $23/hr. Majority of hospitals in Boston have very compet. pay. I currently work at the Brigham which has treated my very well. The diffs are great too. I would recommend picking a boston hospital to work at based on if you like the floor/etc rather than pay since it all kind of works out to be the same.
