Does anyone know how much Beaumont starts they're nurses off with?

Re: Beaumont Hospital

Yeah - I started work there in June.

$24.03 - no secret.

There is a educational allowance like $200/year for CE, and maybe up to $1200 per year for advanced degree classes. Benefits like retirement and 403B are pretty poor. Look at the whole package when you compare facilities. Parking is free. Cafeteria food is expensive

The chance to get a raise is really limited due to this new pay for performance program.

some hospitals pay more but you have to consider a lot of factors. Your happiness is always number one.

realllyy?

I personally thought it would be much more than that, because of the fact of how good of a hospital beaumont is... is that royal oak or troy ?

Re: Beaumont Hospital

When I applied to college I was told when you work for a hospital like Beaumont its not the money you get its the fact that the next job you go and apply for they will see that you worked there and know that you have some damn good training and work experience under your belt. I was told some of the better paying places are in the less than favorable neighborhoods. Now this isn't always the case so please don't anyone get angry with me.

Re: Beaumont Hospital

I work at Beaumont Royal Oak. What I learned is that many of the poorest serviced hospitals pay the highest salaries. Serviced means poor technology, patients with lousy insurance so that by the time they show up for help there isn't much that can be done, and the physicians and medical options are often not top notch.

At Beaumont, my humble opinion, the equipment, medicines, physicians, and available procedures and tests are really excellent (at least in the top 10 for the state - just a guess) but the working atmosphere (salary, benefits, team work, fellowship, room for advancement, opportunity for salary raises, and overall pay) is mediocre.

Others in different units are welcome to argue. I would like to see if others find this not true.

And by the way, are salaries outside the hospital setting always worse? I have heard that to work in a large private practice (several MD's and a staff of maybe 10 or 15 ) pay the poorest of all.

All I have to say is WOW, I cannot believe how little they pay.
A few mos. ago a few LPN students that graduated from my college gt jobs that started at 24.00. You would think a RN would get more, especially at beaumont.
My aunt works there, I was planning on getting a job there when finished with nursing school, but I better ask her what they pay and stuff before I go there.

Re: Beaumont Hospital

Before anything else- hi allison! Actually, for you grads to be out there, $24.00 doesn't sound too bad actually. St. John's starts new grads system wide (Main, Providence, Oakland, Macomb)at $23.65. Then you pay towards your benefits. Oh, and then there is the issue of low census policy to consider. THat is for another post. Good luck, D

Carebear, what school did you attend and where did these LPN's you speak of find jobs that paid that much?

I go to Baker in Auburn Hills. I'm not sure what places these girls got their jobs, but I do know how excited they were on the day of pinning saying they start the following week making 24.00 a hour, I was blown away. I want to say it was not a hospital, I think one of them was starting a home health job and the other girl was going to a long term facility.
I wish I could get in touch with them to ask, but I was not in their class, I was only helping them out at the pinning ceremony.
If by chance I run into them I will find out I'll let you know.
