LVN's @ Olive View-UCLA Medical Center

by wooosp

Recently, I've been considering applying at Olive View-UCLA Medical Center. I currently work at a SNF as a LVN, and I know it would be a significant pay cut if I decide to go there. I have several questions for those of you who work or have worked as an LVN at this hospital or any other county hospital:

What was your expirience like?
Do the benefits make up for the pay cut?
What's expected from you as an LVN in a county hospital?
Would I get priority if applying at the L.A. County College of Nursing?
Would you recommend it?

Your response and input would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thank You.

I completed an LVN program in the nearby area of Van Nuys in October 2005. During my last week in school, the recruiter from Olive View came to our school to see if we were interested in positions there. The starting base pay for LVNs was a measley $2550 monthly, which doesn't even add up to $30,000 per year after taxes! Since 2 years have passed, Olive View might have increased their LVN pay rates.
