Tele/Medsurg RN

Nurses General Nursing

Published

Working at a hospital in Orange County CA. About 35 bucks an hour with 7 years experience. A monitored medsurg unit. I even give chemotherapy. I keep hearing how other hospitals pay so much more, well do they? Am I being shorted? Anyone have info what the other local hospitals pay for similar experience? For that matter, other hospitals in general!

Thanks all.

Specializes in Cardiology, Oncology, Medsurge.

Sounds like you both are paid handsomely. I am paid $25.50 hourly. I think of those who work in Illinois and how much of a pittance they receive on average and am grateful to be paid what I am worth. My floor is great! The people are great! So supportive! I guess I'd rather have a cut in pay than have political headaches at work!

I think my area has low pay for RN's. I'm a new grad making 23.92/hr on midnights thats with shift diff, weekend diff is only 1.25/hr! I have a friend who moved to VA making 38/hr as a new grad.
