The $60 an hour starting pay out in Cali is obviously the most out of anywhere but it also has the highest cost of living in the country. Finding a RN job in the large urban areas of Cali is almost impossible for new grads and you have to have a BSN not an ASN to even get considered. I find that throughout the South (I am in Knoxville)that the starting base rate is 18-30. Like you said, travel nurses in the South can make big bucks by living in a low cost area and taking jobs where the pay is almost double.

Actually having a bsn in California is not necessary. There is no pay increase for it either. Our facility is a hiring 120 new grads this year with 52 week ori programs for critical care areas...are you interested? Insurance is completely free for your entire family as well. This is the best state for my profession which is why the mds HAVE to make more than that chart.....thanks odinson for the info. There is no tactful way to ask that at work.
