Recently received a call back from Maricopa Med Center Emergency Department about a night job. What can anyone tell me about this facility as far as benefits, staff to pt. ratio, pay scale, safety of the neighborhood, etc. Would greatly appreciate ANY information from you AZ nurses! Thank you!

My husband is going to graduate in December and he has been looking for new grad jobs in that area (we live in Kansas now). Can anyone tell me more about these new grad programs??? Is there somewhere online where I can find information? Thank you so much!!!

My husband and I are considering relocating to Mesa/Gilbert/Chandler/San Tan/ Queen's Creek etc. area starting in 2013. I recently graduated in Dec. 2011 with my BSN and am currently working in the ER at a small rural hospital here in KS. My husband is currently finishing up his second year of an ADN program and will graduate in December of this year. After reading several posts, it seems that the market for new grads anywhere in the Phoenix area is fairly bleak. I would like to stay in the ER and my husband is interested in either ER or Surgery. I was hoping to gain some insight on our chances of finding jobs there and also hear from nurses who have been in the area about which hospitals have the best pay/benefits and which are the best to work for. We would really appreciate any information or input! Thank you!
