Medstar health hospitals for new grads!

1. 0 Are there any nurses out there who works for any of the Medstar Health Hospitals (Good Samaritan, Union Memorial, Franklin Square, Harbor, etc.) Can you tell me if they hire new graduate nurses and what the starting salary is like? Also, what is the best part about working for the organization? Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

   I work at a Medstar hospital (actually have worked for 2 of them) and I LOVE it! Medstar loves their nurses We have many opportunities for professional growth, and many perks. Technology is cutting edge. FSH is a magnet hospital.
   
   New grad salary last I looked was aprox $24.50 base. They have the PACE program at FSH for new grads.

   I heard through the grape vine that Franklin Square is planning to hire 50 new grads in the near future.

   I am not sure about for new grads/for the PACE program...but I work at Franklin Square and I do not have a BSN, and I know of other nurses that just started here that do not have a BSN. Hope this helps
