starting wage for RN??

Published

hi everyone,

I am new to this forum and to Ohio. I just move here about a month ago, took my boards, and got a job....the only thing is that I am not sure what the wage is for new RN grads?? I am about an hour North of Columbus. Does anyone have any helpful info for me?? Thanks

These are new grad wages? Any idea what over ten years experience can

pay? Columbus area and back to the state line of Kentucky.

Hi, all!! From Cincinnati. The starting wage for RN is $22 base rate, not including premiums. I have >10 years experience and am making about $29. I remember starting out at only $13.50/hour. This is in LTC.

The hospital I plan to work for when I graduate currently has a new grad rate of something like $21.87 before differentials/premiums. This is in Dayton.

I am a new grad RN and I will be making just under 21 an hour as my base, with a 12.5% night diff and a 10% weekend/holiday diff.

Hi Guys,

I am Starting nursing program in Winter 2010 at Sinclair community college. I know this thread was in 2006 but i would appreciate if somebody can give me some info about the job market and pay scale for RN's in Dayton area this time. I was going for respiratory therapist but then I changed my mind to RN because everybody suggested me that RT is not a good choice. I can still go for RT but I want to go for nursing so, If somebody can please give me some info and advice, I will be very thankful.

Hi guys,

I have few questions about internships:

Can somebody please explain me what is internship or externship? when do you apply for that? Like after you are done with your program. I have three quarters left for my program. And how do you find these internships? Do you get hired after your internship?

I will appreciate any information. thanks
