A friend is making all kinds of money but living in a garage with about six other guys. Crime, while still low, is increasing. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wages do not accurately reflect the current cost of living of the town. Hospital has several open positions however and they hire new grads. PM me for any other questions 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I find that hard to believe, but a few years back there were rumors of nurses making huge bucks in Alaska for short-term assignments. Just curious but how much are nurses making in this town? Thanks. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aug 13, 2013 by L&D<3 L&D<3 has 1 years experience and specializes in Labor & Delivery Postpartum NICU. 32 Posts; 3,306 Profile Views I highly doubt our CNAs make that much at Mercy. New grads RN BSNs start off in the low $20s depending on the unit/specialty. Going the Mercy's ER for codes/trauma alert/codes is the only time I see the ER but I know those nurses are always busy, and they'd prefer the ER RNs to have experience, obviously. But I'm sure they'd train the right person as we are fairly short staffed. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
