Modesto area

Published

Hello all, looking to move to the Modesto area from the Midwest, I am originally from San Jose so I am familiar with the area my concern is hospital working conditions and pay rate. I am currently a Med-Surg nurse with 5 years experience, TNCC, ACLS, and soon to be TCAR, also I am an ADN who will be starting a BSN program soon. Looking to get into an ED or back to Med-Surg. I have looked at Doctors so far any current thoughts, info would be great as most info I can find is pretty old.

Thanks in advance!!

I'd stay clear from memorial. Shoot for DMC or even Kaiser. Make sure DMC knows you are in a BSN program, it is highly preferred. Went to CSU Stanislaus and did clinicals at both. Memorial is a pretty horrible place, lots of union and management issues.

Hi buttaflyRN. I'm a med surg nurse living in Atl but looking to move to Modesto soon. I'm originally from San Leandro. Will be applying to DMC and Kaiser. May do a short travel stint before I make a perm move.

I thought about doing that too but I have too many little animals to try and travel at this point. Have you gotten your CA license yet? I'm curious how long it might take.

@buttaflyRN my license is still pending and I probably have about 1 more month left to wait. Yes it takes three months to complete.

Hey zzbxdo, can you share more insight on memorial?? You're talking about Sutter Memorial Medical Center, correct? I am going to have an interview there and just want to know what's happening.
