Thinking about relocating to Atlanta "RN" 2year, LPN 13 years

HI everyone,

I am thinking about moving back to Atlanta. I worked as an LPN for 13 years, and an RN for 2 years. I lived in ATL in 1995-96, but the pay for LPN's were too depressing. Now as an RN, I wonder how much I may make an hour in the hospital. I now reside in NJ and my some coworkers told me that RN's make around $40,000 a year in ATL. Others states that it is around $50,000 a year. I can't see myself going back to making $40,00 a year, especially when I know that the cost of living in ATL is not as cheap as some say. I am concern. What are the possibilities of making at least $50,000 in ATL.

Looking forward to replies,

Lannie

Well of course it depends on shift, specialty, hospital and work status etc. You should be able to make $50,000/yr easily.
