Carondolet/St. Joseph New Grad RN-BSN Salary - SHOULD I TAKE THE JOB?

Updated:   Published

Hey guys!

I was wondering if anyone new what SJ paid new grad RN's? I guess they call them "Clinician I". I was recently offered a Patient Care Associate position (basically being a tech) but they really hint at the fact I can be a new grad RN once I take boards and graduate in May. But - the pay isn't that great for a PCA so the only reason I would want to work there is if they pay new grad RN's well. Does anyone know?

I know there are a lot of other factors involved (working environment, taking care of patients) - I have already considered these factors and money is the only thing left to think about.

Would appreciate any input as usual! Thanks ? :w00t:

I think the starting salary at St. Joseph is 19.30...although they might have raised it this year. You do get 17% differential for nights, and 22% for weekends.

I thought it was more like $18.75/hour. I know St. Luke's mentioned $18.60 at a recent recruitment event. I believe they're all pretty close. St. Joseph has a $5000 sign on bonus which I believe is quite a bit more than some other facilities, but I don't know what the commitment or payout plan is on that.

No, I'm pretty sure its 19.30, because I started at 18.90 two years ago, and they raised it to 19.30. The commitment bonus is paid out when you start, and every three months.
