I do not know the answer but I do know that you can call your local Hospital and ask them. It may vary from Hospital to Hospital and from State to State depending on the need for this type of nurse. Although I know that nurses are generally in short supply and especially in short supply in places like Florida. So I would suppose that the salaries would be higher in those circumstances. So maybe you should call around the place you believe that you would like to live/work in.
Good Luck!

You'll do okay if you are intelligent, industrious, hard working and committed, but you won't get rich. Check out the link below. Neonatal nurses work almost exclusively in hospitals.
In the Midwest, a starting salary may be $35,000-$40,000, whereas on either coast, it is usually much higher, and in the South it is usually lower, at about $30,000. It also varies according to experience. The highest starting salary for someone with no experience is around $48,000, and experienced nurses can earn $70,000 or more per year.
