How's Charlottesville?

UVA was always hiring experienced nurses, at least a year ago they were. They have a fairly high turn over rate so there were always positions available. You should be able to snag a job in their float pool, just be persistent with HR and recruitment, they can be a little slow sometimes. Overall I had a really good experience there and there are plenty of things I miss about my unit and the hospital.

Old thread, I know. But I been hearing adds on the radio from UVA Health System looking for experienced RNs. Ad says 2 years exp and a BSN. Says they will pay 5K signing bonus and up to 5K relocation expenses. That's all I know, but from looking at the UVA HR page, it seems they are putting up listings almost daily for experienced RNs.

Experienced RNs, especially with a BSN, but really any experienced RN - will have no problem getting a job at UVA or anywhere else in central or western Virginia.

I've recently applied to UVA and have an interview coming up. Any advice? How do you like living in Virginia and how is the pay for an experienced nurse at UVA?

Hey. Cville is a great little town that has everything of a big city with way less hassles.

No clue what an experienced nurse would start at at UVA, but somewhere in that range they list on the jobs site. I am sure they have a formula where you would get whatever the other nurses with that many years get or something close.

I've been here nearly 20 years, but am just starting nursing school as a second career with hopes of eventually getting a job at UVA.

Cville is amazing!
