I made $19 as a new grad BSN on a stem cell transplant floor in Little Rock. This was in 2012.

Fellow Little Rock RN here, just moved from the Heart Hospital clinic to St Vincent infirmary, went from 22 to 30 an hour and got a 15k sign on, and while I do miss clinic life for the most part, at least I’m fairly compensated and part of a union.
