1. Rush starting pay

   MichRN72 replied to coopsc1's topic in Illinois

   This was 3 years ago that I asked this question. I'm sure the starting pay is all very similar in Chicago...I interviewed at 3 of the big ones there and they were all within less than a dollar of each other.

   2 years ago at my job offer from Rush the starting pay was 21 or 22/hour for a RN with one years experience. Good Luck!

7. Lansing RN strike

   MichRN72 replied to ruthrn's topic in Michigan

   Good to hear they're not striking! My travel agency offered me that place and I was thinking about it, since its close to my home "base". I don't do scab labor, though!! I worked for Mclaren Regional in Flint for a year, a part of Ingham's corporatio...

8. How much can I expect to make at Northwestern?

   MichRN72 replied to raindrop's topic in Illinois

   The starting wage at both NMH and Rush is 23.40. I work at NMH, you get a shift differential for nights and weekends of like 5 I think. I don't know if you get one at Rush. Good luck!! The move almost wiped me out financially, so you better be saving...

10. Where to live? Working at Loyola.

    MichRN72 replied to parisinthesummertime's topic in Illinois

    Oak Park!!! Look at oakparkapartments.com, 10 miles W of the Loop, blue and green line access. Plus its a nice city. I start Northwestern July 11, and Oak Park seemed the nicest place.

    Rush was wonderful, very good vibes from the nurse manager I interviewed with. Like I said, it was a hard decision, but one I'm comfortable with. I've been a RN for a little over a year, I was a LPN for about a year prior to that. I have a rotation s...

    Okay, how many of these places are unionized, here every hospital is union. I was surprised this isn't the case there for many it seems, unless that has changed.
