Also, how much do you get paid for various differentials?

napswithcats, Ouch 30/hr in San Diego? That seems very low in relation to rental costs, gas prices, etc,. I see all over the forums people talking about 50-60 an hour in California, but I think this is usually more like San Fran and LA. Why is San Diego so much lower, are rental prices a good amount lower there than majority of other major cities in California?

That's astoundingly low unless Tampa is very low COL. I'm in a SNF in northwestern WI where COL is at least reasonable and new grads start at I believe $32/hr. Having been there awhile I am considerably higher than that.
ETA: No differentials by the way. Not sure about other facilities but ours did away with them with the last ownership change. Also no OT except what's legally required and the highest FTE is 36 hours a week and only 4 of us work that 12 hour shift schedule. For the rest of the nursing staff full time is 32 hours a week so it doesn't even put you into OT to pick up a shift. They do offer a bonus for a pick up if they can't fill the shift by the day before but it's certainly not enough of a bonus at $50.00 for a full shift to have nurses knocking down the doors to get it!
New grad in DC Metro, starting pay $27/hr. Evening diff $3, night diff $4, weekend diff $4. Surge bonus for picking up surge approved shifts is $360 bonus and time and a half for the shift. New grads also get a raise at 6 month mark (which I’m just hitting). I’ll get another raise soon when I get chemo certified.
Charge gets $1/hr
Preceptor gets $1/hr

$28.50/hour. $1/hour weekend differential. $2/hour night shift differential. $1/hour preceptor pay.
Many places have a much, much lower cost of living than California.

That is a struggle in San Diego.

Wow, I would have thought DC paid better than that.

You’d think with our higher end CoL but most hospitals are in the same ballpark. But I really can’t complain as I’m making more than I was in my previous career (with 12 years experience) plus I’ve ditched the commute so I’m absolutely coming out ahead. Though more money is always appreciated.
