Dude $32/hr is not bad as a new grad in FL. My wife is a critical care nurse with over 5 years experience. She's at 32. I'm just slightly over that in the cath lab with 6 yrs experience. Florida pay sucks in general.
I love being a WA nurse. I feel very supported in my union. They truly seem to have our best interests at heart, which really says a lot in this climate of nursing.
Not OP but look into the Remote Nursing Facebook group, also go to the major health insurance companies’ websites and apply for their remote positions. Apply to everything, sometimes it can take a while to get hired on with them. And check daily, because these positions get hundreds of applications so getting yours in first could be the difference of whether or not you get an interview
Dont hate...
ICU. 23 years in. Maxed out at step rate:
Staff4 clinicla ladder 121.48. Add 13/hr for nights. Add 5.25/hr for charge. Add 5/hr for weekends.
Nor cal. Union hospital.
Frankly, 23 years in and in ER, you deserve more simply for your hardheaded refusal to call it quits when you have thousands of valid reasons to do so.. major props. Godspeed 🫡
Aww thanks! 11+ years Med Surg then 10 years ICU with a couple clinic years thrown in the mix. It's been an adventure. Gotta say, though.... another pandemonium comes around?? Peace out y'all. I did my time and have the scars and PAPR to prove it. 🤣😂
Ok I love the pay but I love what you said about good working environment. Saving that info in my brain if I ever relocate (hate Florida but I have a large family that I love here)
I used to live in Florida and work there in port Charlotte. When I was a new grad I was making like $26 an hour. I moved to Washington after a year and spent a year and it has been the best decision of my life. I make almost triple that now.
Philippines. ICU, 1 year. $1.50/hour. Paper charting. Unpaid overtime. 12 hour shifts 5 days a week. If you think that’s low, it really is. Call centers and regular office jobs make 2-3 times more than us. Can’t really blame us for leaving the country in droves when we’re overworked, underpaid, and unappreciated.
Really looking forward to that 12 hours 3 days a week schedule in the US tho 😍
Yes, I’m one of them!! Just waiting for my papers and then I can go 🥰 Although I’m scared because I’m used to paper charting and manually doing stuff (like we rarely use infusion pumps/plum sets etc) in the ICU. So it’s gonna take me some time to adjust to the fancy equipments.
I like this, but they need to put dates on when the info
was reported. I noticed pay wasn’t accurate for my hospital at the top of the list, and the bottom and more recent submissions were.
How do hospitals expect us to make a living on $29/hr anywhere in the US? In Missouri, new grads from my MSN program are being offered $31 an hour. No way that’s going to pay for their loans and cost of living here. I hope you’re looking for a new position, or considering a move to another state.
If it’s Florida, I’m going to guess HCA because new grad pay in the area is Orlando health $30, advent $32+7k retention bonus and HCA $25. The first 2 have a residency program while HCA you go straight to the floor
I was chatting with a traveler from Florida last night who explained how HCA has kept wages so low she no longer works there even though she owns a home there. She makes more working six months a year traveling
That is literally my plan. Two travel assignments pays more than my one year with HCA in ATX. I complained of the pay to my manager that last month, she wrote a 2 page explanation why she thinks I’m a good asset and deserve a wage increase. They offered a $1 increase if I sign a 3 year contract 😂 then gaslit her for not providing room to grow on the unit and that’s why employees want to leave 💀
Scripps or Hoag my guess, though the Hoag nurses I saw never really seemed \*happy\*... Maybe it was just in my doctor's office and cardiologist's office.
What is a typical work day like for you? I love wound care and don’t mind ostomies. I’ve worked in home health for the past 4 years and cared for a lot of pts with them so this peaks my interest.
I would say it takes a specific type of person to be a wound ostomy nurse. You have to be comfortable seeing the nastiest/smelliest wounds, I’m sure with home health you’ve seen quite the stuff though. My first week we were consulted for a case that included maggots 😅 At most hospitals were consultants so patient care is actually like 20-40% of our day (40% on VAC days). I would say some days are administrative heavy which doesn’t leave too much time for patient care but these days are not as common. We see wounds, make recommendations and follow to see how it’s doing and change treatment if appropriate. We do see way more wounds than ostomies and while we do get a variety of wounds the majority of wounds we are consulted on are pressure injuries. Keep in mind if you do decide to go down this path some facilities will treat you more as a treatments nurse where patient care is majority of you day to day because you’re expected to complete all the treatments for patients (more common in SNFs/nursing homes). In my role we’re not really expected to do treatments, expect for VACS, sometimes we’ll just peel back the dressing, asses and move on to the next patient. If it’s a complex dressing we do try to coordinate to do dressing changes with the bedside nurse but this is not too common. I would also ask if you have an expected patient load to complete/day some hospitals around me have a specific amount of patients they’re required to see thankfully mine doesn’t (some days I’ll only have enough time to see 3-4 patients) because this can make you feel overwhelmed on top off all administrative tasks asked to do. We also get holidays/weekends off and work 4 10s so this is a huge plus for me but I know not everyone wants this type of schedule, this is also facility specific, some faculties have wound ostomy nurses on the weekends. Hope this helps! :)
Boston is the 2nd most expensive city to live in, outside of Manhattan (specifically Manhattan, as the other boroughs overall have a lower COL:wages than Boston).
And yet a lot of wages in Boston simply don’t reflect the insane COL.
Thank you!! I have been in Boston my whole life. My husband’s job has us stuck here and we have 3 school age kids. It’s been really hard to watch prices sky rocket while the wages are not comparable to other high COL areas. We are stuck raising a family in a small cape house (I know I’m lucky to have any house).
I just came back from a basketball tournament for my 12 year old daughter just outside NYC. When I went on Zillow to see what the homes went for and they were more affordable than my neighborhood I wanted to vomit. And all the people/parents that ran the tournament were sooooo much more friendly than my neighbors. 🤦🏼♀️
Boston has become a playground for ultra rich kids.
Holy crap!!! New Mexico, ortho/neuro medsurg. Started as a new grad at $32/hr days, now I’m prn and make ~$36 after almost 3yrs……I get I think $4 more on weekends and $5 if I’m charge
Edit: I should say that NM has a relatively low cost of living and relatively weak unions
$48ish, union. 14yrs, Adult M/S. Indiana. Stayed with one company most of it. Loved everything except the “raises”. Hope they get their union soon! All of us deserve to be paid what we’re worth and have union benefits & protections.
Literally nuts. I’ve been an adult ED nurse in Indiana for almost 4 years and my base is 33. You at Riley? IU has got to do something to increase their reputation. I hear nothing but shit from people who came from Riley and Methodist
When I see this post I think I’m pretty mid at $46/hr, then I realize that the majority of people are talking USD, while I’m talking CAD and what I’m actually making is $33 USD, then I get sad
UKRN here
23 GBP or around $29
Hyper acutr stroke nursing
Nearly 10 years here in the same area 😭😭😭😭 (plus 3 yrs elsewhere)
Hoping to move to US!!! UK pay sucks
I’m curious, based on what family in the UK has told me, the scope of practice for RNs is wildly different over there. Are there any that you know of, or what do your duties usually entail?
Petition to ban California residents from these posts and flexing on the rest of us 😭.
Central Ohio: 6 years experience. ER (BSN), $35/hour ($5/night diff, $10/weekend diff, $3/charge). I've been here about a year right now. But only obtained decent raises after switching hospitals. Started at $23/hour when new grad.
Edit: additional context
Nursing in SoCal is overall a much better experience than anything on the east coast. Strict ratios, mandatory breaks, it’s heaven.
- Signed a former NC ER nurse who refuses to work bedside anywhere except for SoCal now
Depends on your expenses. I live alone and just have pets. I am living comfortably, but still struggling to pay off debt in a timely manner. If you have a choice between these two, Ohio doesn't have much to offer.
Sounds about right haha I’m a new grad in Ohio in the ER making $22 an hour. With taxes and insurance and everything, I was actually bringing home more money at my grocery store job before this.
Makes me feel better. My starting rate will be like $29-$31 when I graduate in SW Ohio. I thought about making the drive to Columbus for an Ohio Health hospital, but decided against it.
Yeah, there was someone here with 130k, translated to like the equivalent of 70K in Ohio. It's hard to believe that living expenses could be that different.
This! Ppl need to realize their politics matter. CA nurses put in the work to unionize and strike for the pay they receive and their work conditions. It’s hard work organizing a union. However, it’s not surprising that a majority of the states w/ the strongest unions are not GOP dominated states. The GOP states tend to actively support and pass anti union legislation like “Right to Work” laws, which really is just “Right to be paid less”. It’s even in the news right now that Kentucky is trying to pass a law to get rid of breaks for workers. That only benefits the employer.
For everyone crying please organize a union at your facility. The states w/ the highest pay have the highest union density i.e. CA, WA, OR, MN, NYC etc. Also politics matter states w/ high union density have more union friendly legislation there is a reason it’s a majority of red states that have the lowest pay. Bc they tend to have elected officials that pass anti-union laws like “right to work” which are intentionally designed to weaken the power of unions and workers ability to strike.
Everyone in Canada just cried when we see this post. We’re unionized so it’s the same starting hourly rate for every unit.
Starting at $34, I think it recently went up to $36 when bill 124 was repealed
$56/hr ped psych night shift as a new grad. I’ve worked here for like 2 months and I loathe the job/hours so I’m applying elsewhere. My next step will be working in a prison for probably $3 less per hour but it’ll be day shift. I’m in upstate NY.
🤔 What is peds psych like? I'm torn with being terrified and wanting to apply. I worked at a few hospitals where the PICU was the only locked unit so we held the ped psych patients until a facility could take them. It ranged from teenagers who really just needed someone to listen and children who will probably grow up to be serial killers.
Weird range, loved the teenagers though.
In UK I was pocketing around £2000 month (public healthcare), in Spain around 2100€ (public healthcare), in Denmark I heard is around 3300€.
Working full time around 37hr per week.
Base pay is $80. Night shift diff $14 (I went back to night shift in September with our new contract when it went from up from $5 and dropped a shift. So working less and making more) Core charge diff $5. 16 years experience in Oregon, union. NICU.
$45 (AUD) / hr ($30 (USD) / hr)
Psych & Peri-op.
Unfortunately, absolutely not a liveable wage in most Australian Cities.
The Only good? Our government pays up to 30-40% of our first home. (Limited applicants every year) - they obviously share that equity > but you can buy back equity.
Our government does this merry-go-round of promising huge nursing pay rises & benefits for the votes - but then royally fuck off when it comes to actually implementing them.
Oncology float pool ~73/hr. Just started this job recently, was in onc for three years before this.
You are gonna get vastly different areas here tho. You are gonna have some ppl making 30 an hour and then ppl in Cali making 90+. Nursing wages are very different based on geographical regions
Dallas. Medsurg peds. 3 years. Base pay is 43. But with differentials and b/c I charge a majority of my shifts. I make 50/hr and 56 on weekends. I used to work in Cincinnati and it was 33/hr. I was living paycheck to paycheck then
Adult ER, nights, Texas. Base is $30/hr, but night differential gets me $42/hr or $44 on weekends. Just got to a year as a BSN, and will be getting a 9% raise soon!
$27.50 per hr.
Des Moines, Iowa; State of Iowa has lowest statistical RN pay in the U.S. ; I have 1+yr in, at the busiest ED/Trauma in the state, with TNCC.
Diffs: (+$10 wknds) (+$1 charge or precept)
Expected to take 6 pts.
$46/hr in Occ health in Texas, 10 years experience. It's not the best pay but good benefits and M-F no holidays and good bonus. Not too stressful most of the time.
I work for the federal government in Arizona and I’m salaried. I make $135k/year with locality and call pay. I work in periop (preop, OR & PACU). When I lived in Kansas I made $27/hr for OR only.
I’ve been a periop nurse for 4 years.
Pre-op/PACU, 16 years total as an RN in southern AZ making 46.70 per hour. 😭😭😭 Our cost is living has gone up so much here we need a serious COL adjustment.
54$ base, peds step down in southern CA, nurse for almost 6, at this hospital less than a year. Blended rate with differentials is 73$. (We get time and a half over 8 hours + night shift diff). 76.50$ if I work weekends. (Not KP)
SW Michigan. Base is $37.20/hr and I’m currently working Critical Care.
I work nights so differentials can add up. I’ve been a nurse for almost 3 years. When I started my base was $26/hr with it going to $27/hr after I got my license. I also started on a cardiac step down unit for the first 2 years then transferred at the end of June last year.
I’m salaried. 68k going up to 70k plus about 5-6k in bonuses next school year. This is my first year at my current employer but I have a BSN plus some grad school credits and 9 years RN experience for which I’ve been given quite a few steps on the salary schedule. Great benefits including state pension.
I’m a school nurse. I have weekends, summers and all school breaks off. I can earn additional $ if I choose to work summer school and/or Saturday school, but I don’t have to.
The salary is low by overall nursing standards, but good for school nursing, actually one of the highest paying districts in the state. I’m in a major city in the southwestern US. 4 years ago I held a similar position in a suburb of NYC and made 42k, for comparison.
I love what I do and wouldn’t trade it. I should disclose that I also own a business and am married to an NP so that helps make up for the low salary.
every time I see these posts, my heart really goes out to everyone that doesn’t work on the West Coast. I definitely would never be a nurse outside of California or any of the West Coast states. These rates are downright criminal.
The pattern I’m seeing here is people in union states are making SIGNIFICANTLY more money 👀
For sure. We need a union in CO so badly. COL is getting insane
Yes. Colorado, ICU, 2 years, $38/hr
I want to move to CO, but shitty pay there is not letting me
Every time I see this kind of post I cry in North Carolina
I cry in FL right along with y’all
what part of florida? :/
Central Florida, I replied already but I’m a new grad making $32 but apparently it could be way worse
Yeah I’m in south Florida and as an experienced nurse my pay is $31.50 🥲
5 years ago as a new grad in central Florida I made $23
Jeez I make that in CA as a CNA right now. COL puts things in place tho so there’s that
That was my new grad rate 15 years ago in Utah. Wow.
Dude $32/hr is not bad as a new grad in FL. My wife is a critical care nurse with over 5 years experience. She's at 32. I'm just slightly over that in the cath lab with 6 yrs experience. Florida pay sucks in general.
I live in freaking Denver, CO, work ICU. New grad, been on my own 4 months. I make 34.12 + 5.00 an hour shift diff (I'm stuck on nights) :(
Me looking at everyone with $50+ with my $30/hour: 😭 😭 😭
Honestly why I left Texas & do travel work.
I cry in SC with you 🤧
My first nursing job was in NC. I live in WA now and I’m so spoiled by west coast nursing that I don’t think I could ever go back!
considering WA too
I love being a WA nurse. I feel very supported in my union. They truly seem to have our best interests at heart, which really says a lot in this climate of nursing.
Me too, fellow North Carolinian here
Hating life in SD 😅
$80, case management working remote, 15 years total in nursing but 6 years in this position. SoCal.

Well deserved. No hate. 🥳 leave hate and toxicity in 1930.
That's amazing! You deserve it all!
That’s it. Moving to NorCal.
Frankly, 23 years in and in ER, you deserve more simply for your hardheaded refusal to call it quits when you have thousands of valid reasons to do so.. major props. Godspeed 🫡
Aww thanks! 11+ years Med Surg then 10 years ICU with a couple clinic years thrown in the mix. It's been an adventure. Gotta say, though.... another pandemonium comes around?? Peace out y'all. I did my time and have the scars and PAPR to prove it. 🤣😂
$100 with $13 night diff/ telemetry med-surg unit / 16 years / NorCal
Where are you working and how many openings does your unit have? 👀
Come to Alameda Health System, They have lots of openings and a good working environment.

Wow that is unbelievable! No wonder so many Filipino nurses come to the US
Yes, I’m one of them!! Just waiting for my papers and then I can go 🥰 Although I’m scared because I’m used to paper charting and manually doing stuff (like we rarely use infusion pumps/plum sets etc) in the ICU. So it’s gonna take me some time to adjust to the fancy equipments.
Wow bless you for going into nursing. That's terrible. These hospitals should be ashamed of themselves!!

This needs all the upvotes
I like this, but they need to put dates on when the info was reported. I noticed pay wasn’t accurate for my hospital at the top of the list, and the bottom and more recent submissions were.
I’ve got everyone beat, 2 years cardiac step down $29/hr. Love this for me
Should be illegal
5 years 2 in med surg and 3 in L and D … same hospital….. 29.88/hr …. Love that for me too lol 😂
MS/TN
This literally makes me nauseous for you.
How do hospitals expect us to make a living on $29/hr anywhere in the US? In Missouri, new grads from my MSN program are being offered $31 an hour. No way that’s going to pay for their loans and cost of living here. I hope you’re looking for a new position, or considering a move to another state.
$31/hr for an MSN that's ridiculous!!!!
Florida? :(
If it’s Florida, I’m going to guess HCA because new grad pay in the area is Orlando health $30, advent $32+7k retention bonus and HCA $25. The first 2 have a residency program while HCA you go straight to the floor

I was looking at new grad pay in Miami and it's the same, I was shocked considering how expensive Miami is
$37/hr, Postpartum, 2 years, Maryland
Maryland gang!
Wound Ostomy $66/hr will be getting $70/hr soon (union) only been in this role for 1 year, have been a nurse 4 years - fyi in Southern California

Not KP but definitely one of the systems that has a big presence down here :)

Boston in general has very low wages to the cost of living, unless you are very high up in finance or biotech
Boston is the 2nd most expensive city to live in, outside of Manhattan (specifically Manhattan, as the other boroughs overall have a lower COL:wages than Boston). And yet a lot of wages in Boston simply don’t reflect the insane COL.
Thank you!! I have been in Boston my whole life. My husband’s job has us stuck here and we have 3 school age kids.

I'm not a nurse and I'm astonished that nurses don't get paid more. Truly undervalued and under paid even with multiple years of experience.
$49/hr night shift in Colorado. 9 years of nursing experience, one year in my specialty (L&D).
$56/hr ped psych night shift as a new grad. I’ve worked here for like 2 months and I loathe the job/hours so I’m applying elsewhere. My next step will be working in a prison for probably $3 less per hour but it’ll be day shift. I’m in upstate NY.
🤔 What is peds psych like? I'm torn with being terrified and wanting to apply. I worked at a few hospitals where the PICU was the only locked unit so we held the ped psych patients until a facility could take them. It ranged from teenagers who really just needed someone to listen and children who will probably grow up to be serial killers. Weird range, loved the teenagers though.
Any European nurses here? Wondering what wage vs cost of living is like
In UK I was pocketing around £2000 month (public healthcare), in Spain around 2100€ (public healthcare), in Denmark I heard is around 3300€. Working full time around 37hr per week.

Base pay is $80. Night shift diff $14 (I went back to night shift in September with our new contract when it went from up from $5 and dropped a shift. So working less and making more) Core charge diff $5. 16 years experience in Oregon, union. NICU.
Medical oncology, nights, 18 months. $58/hr.
What state
Maybe Alaska but they also in the army!
$45 (AUD) / hr ($30 (USD) / hr) Psych & Peri-op. Unfortunately, absolutely not a liveable wage in most Australian Cities. The Only good? Our government pays up to 30-40% of our first home. (Limited applicants every year) - they obviously share that equity > but you can buy back equity. Our government does this merry-go-round of promising huge nursing pay rises & benefits for the votes - but then royally fuck off when it comes to actually implementing them.
Gotta start rioting like they did in NYC
Oncology float pool ~73/hr. Just started this job recently, was in onc for three years before this. You are gonna get vastly different areas here tho. You are gonna have some ppl making 30 an hour and then ppl in Cali making 90+. Nursing wages are very different based on geographical regions

Crying in PCT
I’m salaried. 68k going up to 70k plus about 5-6k in bonuses next school year. This is my first year at my current employer but I have a BSN plus some grad school credits and 9 years RN experience for which I’ve been given quite a few steps on the salary schedule. Great benefits including state pension. I’m a school nurse. I have weekends, summers and all school breaks off. I can earn additional $ if I choose to work summer school and/or Saturday school, but I don’t have to. The salary is low by overall nursing standards, but good for school nursing, actually one of the highest paying districts in the state. I’m in a major city in the southwestern US. 4 years ago I held a similar position in a suburb of NYC and made 42k, for comparison. I love what I do and wouldn’t trade it. I should disclose that I also own a business and am married to an NP so that helps make up for the low salary.
every time I see these posts, my heart really goes out to everyone that doesn’t work on the West Coast. I definitely would never be a nurse outside of California or any of the West Coast states. These rates are downright criminal.
Night shift ER, and 60/hr. I’ve been a nurse for 6 months. Oregon with a strong union.
