MRS. PEREZ, I too live in OKC! OU Medical Center is an excellent hospital, and the pay is competitive for the area; however, the differential is one of the lowest in the city for nights. If you are interested in Integris Baotist, or Southwest, those hospitals are clean, and I hear Integris Southwest ER has one of the best patient turnarounds around. You will be busy, but it makes time fly and it is rewarding to be able to have more responsibilities to build on, and when you get to nursing school, it will only make it easier as you learn! If you get to work in the ER or the ICU, you will learn alot through the nurses and observation. Also, the pay where I work at OU Medical is 13.75 with differential at night, 11.25 without differential.

Specializes in CVICU, CCRN.

Community hospital system in the suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio. I started at $11.00 with my only other experience being a nursing student.

I think the Cleveland Clinic pays their aids a few dollars more to start.
