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?

I believe it’s because everyone wants to live there. So they really don’t struggle too much with finding help.

Northern California (not Bay Area though). $70/hour. Other hospitals in the area pay up to $90/hour for same level of experience but don’t have the same benefits.

You must live in wine country?

Seems like Nor Cal is the cash cow!! I know cost of living is pretty high there, tho.

Idk how anyone affords it without working their lives away and living with multiple families under the same roof.

I live in northern California and we get by on one income. We live in Sacramento area though. My mortgage is 1800 a month for a 4 bedroom in a nice suburb and wages are competitive with bay area. I'm expecting to make 170k this year.

We bought a house 5 years ago before housing costs went up. I'm very lucky.

Montgomery, Alabama new grad ASN $20.7 (Having BSN wouldn't make any difference). I think Alabama in general pay nurses the worst. COL is of course low compared to other cities.

I'm a new grad in the Boston area and no hospital would hire me due to lack of experience ? How long did it take you to land a job here?

San Diego around $55/hour starting. Will increase with greater work experience.

WOW. This is crazy and a shame... nurses deserve so much more.
