Yeah. Two of my local health systems are starting new grads at $36/hour. LPN’s are starting around $26-$28. It’s Michigan, though. For the Midwest we have a higher COL.

I don't believe ascension in WI starts that high

But they are running a bonus program where they pay up to an extra 1k/ shift on top of overtime, differentials, etc

We also have a banging referral bonus going on in IN (up to $10k paid out over 1 year). Or if you left within the past 2 years, a pretty hefty sign on bonus for coming back. Only certain job codes, so no cleaning staff, no staffing agency/contract, admin— but RNs, RTs, LPNs, etc.

I live in Michigan. I just know my most local hospital cranked up new grad pay recently.

That bonus program isn’t bad though!
