What's the average salary of Boston nurses?

Published

Hello,

I am just curious about this, as I may be moving to the area and want to know what to expect. I would really love responses as I kinda need to know this information soon! t.

I should clarify that I have about 5years of experience. t.

With 5 years of experience I would say about $34/hr. I base this on the average new grad salary in Boston being $26/hr. This is without shift diff. It also depends on the facility (union vs non union) that you work at

At Childrens you should start at about $32/hr not counting your ppc. They do not have shift differential they have the PPC system (professional pay code). This system averages out the shift diff and pays you a "percentage" of that no matter what shift you work (this is the same system used at the Boston hospital that I currently work at). Initially I thought it was fair but am finding out that my counterparts are making more that I do. Also Boston Childrens is a non union hospital. New grads start at $25/hr plus the ppc. As an example I am a new grad and was started at $25.75/hr plus $2.25 ppc for a total of $28/hr. With the ppc system if you work more nights than days your ppc increases, if you work more days than nights your ppc decreases I dont know what the ppc is for Childrens but my classmate says its about the same as where I work. I know it confusing but I hope this helps!
