Indianapolis Nursing Career

Published

Hi,

I am possibly moving to the Indianapolis area within the next 6 months. I have been an RN-BSN for 12 years (with at least 8 being in a critical care field). I have been looking at submitting my resume to the IU Health, St. Vincent, and Franciscan Alliance Hospital systems.

I am curious if anyone can tell me anything about these 3 hospitals. I know all of them have several locations. But aside from that things such as typical hourly wages, nurse to patient ratio, forced overtime, staff turnover, are any of the hospitals union, etc.

Would anyone work at one over another and why? Etc. I am looking at Indianapolis, Carmel, Avon and Fishers locations. Thanks!

Indy is awesome! I grew up there and worked in the IU system , (formerly Indiana University Hospital, many moons ago). I loved working there, great teaching hospital. St. Vincent's and St.Francis also have heard great things about them- I have family there. Carmel and Fishers are great areas to live. Indy is a wonderful place to live, lots to do, people are friendly. Good luck! You have a lot of wonderful hospitals to choose from.
