Moving to Chandler area, what are the good hospitals?

Published

Howdy,

I am moving to Chandler this summer because my wife got a teaching job in Coolidge. what are some good hospitals in the area? i applied to St Luke's Medical Center and my uncle who works at Mayo in Scottsdale said that it is one of the worst hospitals and that I should not get a job there. I am getting frustrated because I have 1 years of long term care experience and 1 year of ER experience along with ACLS, PALS, TNCC, BLS, and CPI. I would think that I would not be treated as a new grad anymore but I get the same old sob story. we are sorry but you don't have enough experience. apparently 3 years of experience is the new standard. If anyone could offer some advice that would be great. Thanks

When was the last time your uncle looked for a job? It is very difficult to be that selective now. I would take a job from whoever offers it and continue looking if you are not happy.

Hi There, If you are willing to travel up the I-60 there iare a couple of brand spanking new state of the art Hospitals on Higley just west of the freeway , you'll see it, I beleive it is called the Mesa Mdicl center,and a liittle further at APACHE JUNCTION on southern from the I=60 you have the breand new Mountainview Hospital , both are ususally hiring , and the head of staffing at Mountain view is a lady called Susan Daugleny, I think, maybe i have got the last name spelling wrong. Then you can also try the Phoenix Childrens on 3rd st and if your expertise is Pedia,,,,,,, .There are many hiring , and give a scottsdale a look also,snce it is not far away from you . Best of luck.

Chandler Regional is a great hospital to work for, great benefits, coworkers, administration, etc. I work on a tele floor and I am sure that you would be qualified with your experience. Mercy Gilbert is one of our sister hospitals and is just outside of the city of Chandler. www.chwcareers.org
