Hello everyone! I have an interview next month at Holy Cross Hospital (very nervous about that!). Would someone tell me how their Critical Care/ER training program is like and what's their starting salary? Thanks!

Hey! So I'm not the best person to answer this, but I did just start as a new Grad at Holy Cross - only on one of the OB floors. The starting salary is $25.9 (plus $3.50 evening/night/weekend differential) - or at least it was for me in February. All the new nurses there had a two week long hospital orientation - which was just computer, HR and general nursing stuff. There were tons of ICU/IMC people there - they all seemed pretty nice, so bonus if you get the job. I know they have at least a 6 week orientation, complete with lots of classes on telemetry and other exciting critical care stuff - I believe they had one or two days of classes and then one or two days of work on the floor a week.

Holy Cross is definitely a busy hospital (especially in OB - they average one birth an hour 24/7) but the people are generally very nice in all levels of the hospital. Good luck with your interview!

Do you have any info on the program? I applied for critical care and hadn't heard back anything. I know they will be at a career fair next week and definitely plan on stopping by their booth. When do you start?

Well, from what the recruiter told me, it's a 3 month program in the ER. The first few weeks is in class, then gradually work on the floor. I start in July! I think they are still hiring. I was hired the day after my interview. I know how hard it is to land a job b/c I searched for 6 months. Good luck hon! :up:
