El Paso TX

Thanks for the information. I am planning to live in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico since the average person pays about $400 a month in total expenses and for $19 to $22 a hour, a nurse could live there in a fairly well-off manner. What are the names of the hospitals that you and your husband work in? I'll try to look at their facilities and visit the HR departments the next time I go to Juarez. Thanks in advance.

I am exploring the idea of working at the Sierra Providence Hospitals in El Paso, mainly Providence on Oregon Street near UTE. I am leery however by the fact that they are own by Tenet, a company with a not so great reputation. Could anyone t ell me the reputation of this hospital and the working condition for new nurses? Thanks in advance.

I am also exploring Del Sol Medical Center on Gateway in eastern El Paso. Has anyone heard of this place? Also, is there a bus line that goes from downtown near Stanton and Franklin to this hospital? I am going to meet with a recruiter this week and am staying in downtown, hence for the bus line. Also, in the future, if I am to live in Juarez, I would like to get a bus from the border to this place.

I have decided to accept a position at Del Sol Medical Center. As a graduate nurse, they are going to pay me $21.38 per hour as base pay and $3.00 for differential for working from 7p to 7a. That is $24.38 for a brand new nurse! This comes out to more than $45,000 annually for somebody who just graduated a couple of months ago from nursing school. In addition they have a $4,000 signing bonus plus $2,000 for relocation.

In addition, I found out that there is a bus line that goes from the downtown plaza to this facility--I can now live in Mexico and commute there from the Santa Fe Bridge, isn't that great!! These are bus line 59 and bus line 56. Thanks for all the people who have helped me in this endeavor.

PS: I also looked for an apartment on the corner of Montes de Oca and Vincente Guerrero in Juarez during my visit to the El Paso metro area. They are charging $250 per month for a two bedroom. Sounds good to me.
