hi!

i wish i could tell you the pay and give you some good suggestions. however, i'm a new nurse and opted to jump into the fiasco called hospital nursing. i know the VA has a long term care facility, but recently the national news were on them like flies due to bad nursing care and horrible conditions. they were fined and the nursing staff was punished and axed (not all, but several of them).

supposedly they have cleaned it up. i just received a post card in the mail from them, boasting their bennies and pay. still, i'd be cautious.

where abouts in town are you looking to work? i know several places to AVOID in the scottsdale area. have you thought about working at a rehab-snf facility? heathsouth in scottsdale is supposedly pretty good....

the hospitals here are hungry. look into the banner hospital system, the scottsdale healthcare system, and st. joseph's hospital.

i wouldn't go to LTC as there are soooo many hospitals that they are trying to staff here. if you are licensed, they will hire you. believe me.
