Contribute! New grad offers MI

[cazreye]

I am a new grad (ADN) in Metro Detroit, MI looking for a job. I graduated from Oakland community college in May. I have had interviews at 2 hospitals, so I have the info about what they are currently paying new grads:

Beaumont Health - 26.04, 2.50 for nights, 2.00 for weekend

plus 2000 for education per year

St. Joseph Oakland - 27.45, 10% for nights (2.75) and 1.50 for weekend

plus 1000 for education per year.

Anybody have any other offers, know any more? I am curious how the different hospitals stack up as far as new grad pay goes. Please reply if you have any info!

Thanks!

I have my master degree, have been a nurse for over 30 plus years, work in a University teaching hospital (right across the state line) and make just a tad more than what they pay at St. Joe. But look at your entire benefit package, the insurance, dental, school, retirement, etc. I personally like Beaumont because of the education stipend, and if they had a good medical insurance package and decent retirement, and offered me a job I could not resist I would go that way.

I did take the Beaumont job even though it was less money. The preceptorship was 3 weeks longer and the nurse patient ratio better too! St joe also had 1 tech for 15 pts at night. That is pushing it in my opinion.

Agreed! My first job we usually had 1 NA for 13 patients, no night respiratory therapists, no ECG techs, no phlebotomists and no onsite providers at night (other than an EC doc for codes). At my second job, the we have all the support staff (including multiple midlevel providers & residents as well as a house physician) and the NAs usually have 7-8 patients and occasionally 9. What a difference!
