What do your local hospitals start at for RN pay?

Curious! I'm in Indiana, the one I'm at now starts new grads at $19.50 for base rate, plus shift diff and all that fun stuff. If I'm weekend option, I'll get $30.24 an hour! Of course, since I'm a broke struggling student, any pay sounds great to me! :rotfl:

I am outside of Philadelphia and the hospital I applied at starts GNs at $24.50, once you pass boards you're bumped up to $26.40. $3 more for evenings, $4.50 more for nights. This is the highest paying hospital in the area. I have heard of others starting at $22-24. I applied somewhere else where base pay is $24 and it's $1.50 more for evenings and $2 more for nights.

Which hospital are you talking about??
