Parking at WHC

[53127]

Hello All,

Can anyone that works at WHC or knows about employee parking fill me in?

Also to the new grads, how much is your starting salary?

Thanks All :)

We have a parking lot for employees. Cost is $25/mo. We are also allowed to park in one of the garages after like 3pm or something, so most night shift people park over there. Personally, when I work nights, I like the regular employee lot because it's fairly empty because everyone else is over in the garage.

Starting salary is $27.67/ hr. There are differentials for nights and weekends. Most new grad positions are 36 hr/ wk, but there are a few- like PACU/ OR types- that do 40 hr/ wk (I believe some work 5-8s and some 4- 10s).

thank 0402...

Are the lots walkinh distance to the hospital or are shuttles necessary?

Also, I am an RN II and was offered a position at a base pay rate of 28.93. I was honestly expecting a little more being that new graduates are getting 27.67. At inova we get a 2.50 raise from RN I to RN II. Is 28.93 typical for RNII there?

Definitely walkable- I'd say about 1-2 minute walk to the hospital (though your specific unit might still be several more minutes once you're inside; it is a pretty big place).

I'm not really sure about RNII pay. I believe we go from I to II after a year of experience, but I'm really not sure about the pay difference. There is a website for WHC nurses, and I think it has pay info on it, but I'm blanking on the address. I'll try to remember it and let you know.

Check out these websites. http://www.nursesunited.org/ and https://www.whcnurses.org/. Updates about contract negotiations. I googled.

I guess its okay to post them here, we will know if they are removed.
