Started at UHC

by edchunt

Well I went and quit at Sharpe and started working at UHC. It is a lot closer to home and the pay is much better. UHC is 3 miles from home where the other job was 33 miles from home. I also wanted to get back into med-surg type nursing. I interviewed twice with the VA and only heard back from them once. So there's the latest.

Hey ed,
I am so glad you decided to follow through with your plan and return to med/surg nursing. A good med/surg nurse can go on to work in any area they choose. I know the elimination of that drive was a blessing too. Keep us posted and remember you have my best wishes for blessings everyday.

Ed I am planning on applying to UHC pretty soon, I am moving to Clarksburg from Pennsylvania in a few months. I am curious to know what the pay range is there.. if you're comfortable giving a ballpark please let me know. I just graduated in May and passed my boards last week (hallelujiah!) do you know if UHC hires really, really new nurses?

I'm really glad to see this thread, good to know UHC sounds like a good place.

Yes!! New grads even. $18.00 hr. to start probably, maybe 19. I have since moved on to the VA just across the river. But that's the scoop. Hope it helps some. I like the VA better, but I'm back in my element of psych there.
