st. elizabeth and st. mary's are merging as one huge campus (they're a few blocks away from eachother). if you're hired at st. elizabeth's, most likely by january 2008, you will be moved over to st. mary's. i've recently been hired for their ICU. Im a new grad and I'll be working days, 12hr shifts, for $25/hr...a pretty sweet deal for a first job i think. resurrection hospitals also give you $9-10,000 for tuition reimbursement. that's more than any hospital in chicago from what i've found. oh! and parking is free! haha!
you should check out the openings:

hope that answers some questions!
take care! and good luck to you!
