Miami Baptist Hospital pay rate

Published

Is there anybody here know the rate per hour of an ICU nurse? My friend has 14 yrs experience as nurse and she wishes to apply in that hospital. :typing

Specializes in ICU, Telemetry, neuro,research.

3000$ is pretty standard down here. i did not get that when i worked at baptist because they told me that i was helping to pay off the "scholarship" i got, that i won, which was $7500 because i went to um. baptist says they are working on computer charting,they have been saying that for years but their funds are spread to wide for now. i still have contacts within the corporate office and keep up with some old friends on the floors i was on. they just got a "gold" program a few years ago to slowly move in that direction. the older staff are having a hard time with the "new" ideas. eventually, that will be part of the assurance of quality for the standard of care. they have a wonderful monitoring system in the icu, if you do not mind having 4 sets of other eyes follow you in all you do and second guess your judgement. well, that is another topic altogether. some of the llarger organizations have computer charting but only in their "critical care" areas. kendall regional medical center, a part of columbia hca has had computer charting for years, throughout the hospital; as has miami childrens'.

no, baptist has no "phlebotomist" officially. you can call the lab lady if you absolutely cannot get a vein. but, she will not be happy and neither will the patient. the lady that was there 2 years ago, she went "fishing" for a vein, if you know what i mean? it is a give and a take. as it is with everything. baptist was talking about making apartments next to the hospital for nurses that were travelers and the like. i do not know if that has come through. i go by there on my way home and there is alot of building going on but for the most part it looks like they have not finished the renovations/expansion of the ed. but there is space, baptist bought the offfice buildings next door to the hospital and built a parking garage and there is enough room for another building for something. i will keep you updated.

they have been saying they are going to computer charting for the past 11 years. the new er will be completed 10/08. no apts for nurses. baptist has a new ceo who could care less about the nurses

Specializes in Tele.

the CEO at MCH seems like he cares about the nurses.

There was e-mail sent to us employees, that we have to "get to know your fellow employees" and at random, they will come and ask..... I don't know how that is going to work, because there is no way that I could know about the personal life of every person I work with.

anywho,

I do enjoy where I work. it's hard at times, but that comes with the territory of being an RN.

baptist has MDC, and BARRY on-campus scholars programs.

So they are training their own nurses.

I would of loved to do that, but MDC sucks!
