St john Main hospital

I've done several clinicals at St. John Main, and have two classmates that will be starting there as new grads in a couple of weeks. Most of the units are well run and the staff is helpful and friendly...there are nurses that have been on some of the units for 25 and 30 yrs, so St. John must be doing something right! I'd definitely avoid the Pediatric unit though, it's badly stocked, the med room is very unorganized, and the PCA's would always disappear every time there were students on the floor.

Good-luck!

This is a good hospital for experience. They are having issues right now with their budget, like many in the area. They will not give nurses a raise this year, are cutting vacation accrual by 8 hours, small changes made to the prescription coverage, and it's possible that may do something with the match for retirement contributions. I like working there with the people. They have been in the unit a lot longer than many hospitals can claim to keep their employees, and my coworkers are very intelligent.
