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.

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.
