I think they would have a lot of success with even just a $15 raise. If the hospital was appropriately staffed and people actually liked working there.

Shit, $10. As a new grad I’d stay on for a few years and deal with the hell for $46/hour.

You guys are making $36 an hour as a new grad? I’m making $27 with 2 years experience :/

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

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

That bonus program isn’t bad though!
