I would like some info on Denver Health. I plan on moving to Denver in September, so I will have 14 months RN experience. Does anyone know what the starting wage would be on a med/surg floor? Also, do they have tuition/relocation bonuses? student loan forgiveness programs? how does vacation/sick leave accrue? how much is health insurance for one person? are there 12 hour shifts? what is full time, 36 or 40 hrs? most important-do you like working there? answers to any or all of these ?'s would be greatly appreciated...

They have everything here. Not sure what they would pay you for experience but they do have shift diffs and pay for any previous health exp. IE: LPN, CNA, MA. They start new grads at 23/hr. Benefits rock. Loan repayment, yes, not sure of the details. I don't think they offer relocation bonuses. Paid time off is complicated. There is plenty, though. Health insurance for individual is roughly $30. They put 15% pay into 401K for you because they don't take out for social security. Again, all very complicated but wonderful benefits. 36 is full time. 12 hour shifts. I do believe if you want to pick up extra they allow 8 hours. I adore this place. I hope I retire here. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any more questions!
