A friend of mine recently was a manager there. She quit because even as an exempt management employee she never got a full pay check because she was required to take unpaid days off due to the hospital's financial troubles. I would suggest looking at other LA-area hospitals such as: Cedars (LA), Little Company of Mary (Torrance - just south of LA about 15 miles), St. Joseph's (Burbank - just north of LA). If you do go to Good Sam's I suggest you get all promises in writing and signed by someone "in power"....do not trust verbal promises!

Good Sam in San Jose? I've heard the opposite, from an ER nurse who loved working there.

Specializes in NICU, Med/Surg.

I have a joboffer from this hospital (nicu) and would also appriciate information and opinions (if you don´t want to post it here, just pm me). Finding information about hospitals when you´re from the other side of the world is not the easiest thing to do.................

My hourly rate is stated as 25.51 (x 1.5 after 8 hours) plus 3$ shift differential. That seems a bit low....... Is it even possible to survive on that?

Another question, how much tax should I expect to pay? Is it the same in all of california or does it depend on the city?

Thank you

Taxes: about 30% to 35% (state, federal, and social security) depending on filing status.

As for Good Sam, this is the hospital that put "secret" video cameras in the nurses' lounges. Administration stated they were never turned-on, but one wonders why they were installed in the first place. Administration stated it was for the employees' safety. So does that means Good Sam is not a safe place to work? You might want to ask you recruiter about this.

Salary offer isn't bad equals about $33.26 average hourly rate (rate+diff x 14 - for the OT and divided by 12-hours worked). But as I said above, how many times will you actually work a full 36 hours/week? You might also want to ask the recruiter that question, "how many times should I expect to be cancelled?"

By the way, you are referring to Good Sam in Los Angeles? There are many Good Sams in CA.
