Specializes in Cardiology.

So I keep seeing all the great things happening in Columbus and it has really got me thinking about moving down there after school. I know Columbus, like Cleveland, has a lot of nursing schools so finding a new grad job wont be easy.

Anywho, does anyone know any real good hospitals to work for down there? I know there is OSU, OhioHealth, and Mt Carmel.

Any input from current or former employees would be great! New grad nurse pay starts from $25-$26/hr here, not sure of shift differentials.

Thanks!

Noooooo. Pretty sure nobody wants to identify where they work. Not a smart thing to do on the internet much less a public forum.

I do . If you want to be competitive, you must be a BSN student and get an internal tech job to get a nursing job at the hospitals.

Well I'll have one of those complete. I suppose its best to stay up here in Cleveland and get some experience first.

Well then thats what I'll do. I really like the idea of working at Riverside or Grant, or possibly at Ross or the new James hospital at OSU.

I think Ohio Health employees are most satisfied.

Columbus is super saturated with new grad BSNs- lots of nursing schools. Took me 4 months to find a job. Don't come down here unless you're competitive (1+ yr experience) unless you're willing to be looking for awhile.

Base pay is $24.33 here without shift diff for new grads.

It's nice to hear that they still offer differentials in Columbus. They only offer night shift differential up here in Cleveland and it's like $1.00 more an hour (which is better than nothing I suppose). All the big hospitals got rid of weekend shift differential.

I read about OhioHealth and I am becoming to like them more and more, just a shame that the new grad market is saturated.
