My first yr at RAH, I grossed $19,555. I don't include signing bonus, the $1600 "expenses" paid during training or per diem as none of that is "income". First year pay hasn't changed in 7+ yrs so this is very accurate. Of course I only worked 50 wks that yr not the full 52.
Let's all try to be honest and not exaggerate.
Haha, you're the queen of exaggerating. I made 38,500 my first year. That's with the signing bonus and crediting over 100 hours a month on reserve and working every holiday. The pay and work rules here suck, but like anything in life, it is what you make it. Money can be made.
