For nursing students like myself, I thought it would be helpful and intersting to see what type of salary is out there for graduating nursing students for different area's. Looking around the site, I see different salary threads, but many replies are from nurses with 10 or more years experience, or the threads are years old and the starting salary is long outdated. I thought it would be more helpful to have a thread with nurses who are fresh out of school and what their starting salary is.

What your starting salary is/was after you graduated

That's fine. I just mention the BSN cause some places want it, others don't care. I just want an idea of where to direct my search mainly. Thanks for the info! :)
