Hospital reputations andstarting salaries

[kelbel]

I am officially movingto the DFW area inthe late summer. As a new grad I will be looking into internships starting in September. I contacted Parkland Memorial and they seemed to have what I was looking for with very good (in my opinion) GN pay. That always makes me a little leary because here in St Louis, you would have to work 2 years before receiving thatpay. They also pay $6/hour weekend differential which is unheard of here. Please tell me anything you may know about their reputation to staff and pt care, and what the typical salary range for a GN is in this area.

Last I checked GN rate at Parkland was 18.50/hr with a $500 sign on bonus, and $1 extra for ICU.
