Mayo is probably the best education wise, but competitive to get into. Dignity is best benefits wise, with HonorHealth close behind. Banner is a good; new grads start at nearly $28/hour. I've never worked in PCH and haven't talked to friends that work there about it, so I can't elaborate on PCH. Average starting salary for new grads is about $26-$27.
I currently work for Banner as a new grad. We just got bumped to 27.40 an hour with almost 5 dollars night diff. I had 4 job offers as a new grad with Dignity, Maricopa, and Honor Health. I can say that both Dignity and Maricopa were 27. Honor Health was 28 but with 4-6 differentials with night shift.
Banner by far does the best with training out of the 4. Im sure Mayo would be the best but I am not too familiar with their program. I was very happy with Banner's . I have almost 60 Continuing ed hours already 7 months into working there, 15 critical care certs, and 3 stroke certs. That is way more than what I can say for any other new grad in any other new grad program.
Honor Health definitely pays the most. I have a couple friends at Childrens that say they love their jobs but were surprised to see that their pay wasnt that great. I dont know how much exactly but I know it is not on par with the other programs.
Dignity offered a friend $25/hr, unsure about the differential.
HonorHealth starts at $28.50 with shift differential of $4.50-6.75/hr depending on evenings or nights and then an additional $1.70 for the weekend.
Mayo Starts at ~$32 and the residency program that takes about 12 people every 6 months is a year long with didactic education from the Nursing Education Specialists.
@ NickiLaughs Hi, im not sure what part of cali you are in. Whats the starting salary for new grad? Im from the Bay Area and cant seem to get a ballpark range. I heard Kaiser is the best.
