This is directed towards RNs working and living in Hampton, Newport News, Norfolk, Portsmouth, VA Beach, Williamsburg, and surrounding areas.

1. What is the average starting pay for new grad RNs in this area?

New grad AASN starting pay per hour at Riverside Regional Medical Center
New grad BSN starting pay per hourat Riverside Regional Medical Center
New grad AASN starting pay per hour at Sentara Careplex, Sentara Williamsburg Regional Medical Center, Sentara Norfolk General
New grad BSN starting pay per hour at Sentara Careplex, Sentara Williamsburg Regional Medical Center, Sentara Norfolk General
New grad AASN starting pay per hour at Mary Immaculate Hospital, Maryview Medical Center, and other Bon Secours Hospitals in Hampton Roads
New grad BSN starting pay per hour at Mary Immaculate Hospital, Maryview Medical Center, and other Bon Secours Hospitals in Hampton Roads

2. How much are the shift differentials? Are they consistent systemwide, or do they vary by specific hospital?

3. How would you compare your experiences working for one health system (or hospital) versus another on this list? What would you say the advantages and disadvantages would be at one place vs. another? Anything specific that stood out to you?

A lot of people I have met at Maryview also work for Sentara Norfolk General and seem to like working for Sentara more than Bon Secours. Would you say this trend is more facility specific (Sentara Norfolk General as a hospital is more desireable than Maryview Medical Center), or more organization specific (i.e. working for the Sentara organization is more desireable than working for the Bon Secours organization)?

Your help is appreciated!!

Thank you.
