Best Hospital in Indianapolis

Published

Specializes in Orthopedic, Oncology, Med-Surg, LTAC.

I currently live in Mississippi. I am relocating to Indiana this summer. I would like to know: what is the best hospital for employment in Indianapolis or Avon. I have worked in orthopedics, med-surg, oncology, and LTAC units. I have five years of experience and I do not mind working. I want to find a hospital that appreciates its staff. Please help! :nurse:

Hi There,

I live in Plainfield, just south of Avon. I work at St. Francis Hospital in Beech Grove, IN. It is just about a 30 minute drive from

where I live to work. There have been a lot of positions posted on their website. I think there are more critical care positions than Med/Surg, however. If ICU interests you, I know there are positions open on my unit. The orientation process to ICU is great.

I worked at Methodist when I first moved down here and did not have a positive experience. I would not go there.

If there is any thing I can help you with, just let me know.

I work for St. Francis - Indianapolis Campus and LOVE IT! I will not go to any other facility!

I am starting the Nursing program at IUPUI in January. I heard that some hospitals will come out to the orientation and offer to pay tuition if you work for x number of years. Any advice?

Aren't they closing St. Francis-BG down here pretty soon? I only ask because I have a friend whose mom works there, and it seemed like she said that they were going to be closing sometime within the next little bit.

It is for the ABSN program. And there are 15-20 scholarships for 40 people. Not everyone applies. It is a 2 year work commitment and it pays for about 2 semesters. Hope that helps!
