You guys I'm not trying to be smart a__ but that salarywizard is Not right, especially for the south. It's usually much lower than even the "lowest median salary". I'm not kidding! Call a nursing school at a college such as Emory or Univ. Of Georgia, ask to speak to the Admissions office. Befriend the person, ask who you should speak to- I would think the career adviser. Or i bet the nurses have a society in GA of some type, google this. A Licensed Practical Nurse just starting out is not a Registered Nurse- this would obviously vary greatly where you worked- a nursing home? Home health care? Caring for granny while her kids paid you? $36,000? In rural GA or Atlanta? Get real, there's no way to quantify this via an internet site. You need to talk to girlfriend nurses in the town where you are applying. I had a client this year who worked doing nursing tasks in a nursing home in a mid-sized city in AL. She had a lot of experience. I don't know if she was a L.P.N. but she made exactly minimum wage. Don't shoot the messenger, lol...

If the job ad states that the starting pay rate is $13.00, I hardly doubt that they will offer you a lower starting pay than that. And if so, just bring up what the ad said. Whem they ask you again during your interview try going slightly higher than the $13.00. It all depends on your relative job experience to job you are applying for. If you have alot of experience try $14.50.  But I wouldn't take anything less than $13.00. Good Luck!

In the midwest it is typically anwywhere from 8.50 to 10.00 an hour depending on where you live and what type of clinic you start out in.\n\nIf you want a better idea for the starting range in your area, I would go to a job search site like Monster.com and do a search, a lot of times they will have the salary to be paid on there.

Unlike some European countries (Germany for example), pay is not partially based on age. It all depends on the specialty. Last I heard, the national average for General Surgery for example was approx. $250,000/year. Family Practice around $100,000/year. Plastic Surgery can pay alot. But this also depends on the scope of practice, where you practice (private vs. public hospital) the type practice (group, etc.), malpractice insurance, and other compensation. There are quite a few variables. Also in the U.S. students start medical school at different times. When I started the average age in the first year class was 27. Hope that answers your question.

Average hourly rate of $17.32 per hour.  Keep in mind that this will skew higher or lower depending on the nurse's experience level.  Cheers.

I live in Northern California, and I average about $50,000 a year.  There are definitely different pay scales.  If you live in a big city, you will make more.  With more experience you will make more.  If you are trained and licensed in many different modalities (CT, MRI, Ultrasound etc), you will make more.  If you work in a hospital and are willing to pull call or work nights, you will make more.  I have found that I make enough money working in a small town, in an outpatient facility that I can comfortably support myself and my daughter.

45K is a good starting salary for many occupations.  The cost of living for your area is really a factor, as well as the skills that you have.\n\nA better question might be "What is the average starting salary in my geographic area, in my field of expertise".  Not knowing your geographic area, or expertise, all we can comment on is the number.\n\nThe number 45K is high for a lot of college graduates across the country.  I know of many who start in the 20's, who don't have good grades or applicable skills.  On the other hand, if you are graduating from Medical School, and setting up practice in California, then perhaps you should be looking for 100K+!\n\nCheck with your school, to see what the average starting salaries were last year.  Most colleges track this information.  It helps employers and employees!

Probably $35-40,000. I think its a great job, I suggested it to my husband. You get great experience at the job and can move up.

Abolutely! Nurses will be able to pretty much dictate their own salaries for years to come. Nurses are in big demand and the number of nurses dwindle. You could choose a lot worse career paths.

Starting wage normally depends on the area you are in. Cashiers don't start out as high pay as some of the other areas, but it's still normally good pay for the type of job you're doing. I don't know what wages are in NC, but most Wal-Marts start out anywhere from $7.00-$12.00/hour. Most have a pretty good benefit package, too--which is sometimes hard to find in retail jobs. I have several friends who work at Wal-Mart and they all enjoy their jobs very much. I think it would be well worth your time to check it out. Good luck.

In Louisiana, you can demand $ 5.00 an hour, per child. If they realise that their children get along fine in your care, parents might soon start paying you even more - but first, you will have to prove your worth, and deserve the raise !

I can start you at $9.50 an hour.\n\nProve yourself and it goes up.
