Who they are
You are looking at Aventura Health Group in Cincinnati, Ohio. On the one posting we have, the rate is $30 an hour—flat, with no range and no sign-on figure attached.
More about Aventura Health Group
That is the number you can plan around right now. Cincinnati itself sits roughly 5% below the national cost of living. Nurses who move here often weigh neighborhoods like Westwood, Walnut Hills, Northside, Hyde Park, or Clifton against the drive to the larger systems in town—UC Medical Center, Cincinnati Children’s, Christ Hospital, and TriHealth Good Samaritan. Ohio is a compact-license state with a graduated income tax generally described as low. What we cannot tell you yet is the texture of the unit: no scheduling notes, float policy, residency, tuition help, or EHR detail sits in the file. You would be walking in with the pay number and the city, and filling in the rest by asking direct questions on the interview.

The reality check
Before you decide
Weighing a first job here?
The license clock and the job hunt run at once, and new-grad windows do the deciding. Residency commitments carry fine print worth reading before you sign.
