Hi there, I was told the new grad rate is 23.00 hour but that it varies by unit. I was also told about a new grad signing bonus of 10,000.00! Can anyone confirm this? I know the signing bonus at some other local hospitals is 5,000.00. Please advise. Thanks, B

To mamrn, Thanks for the reply. I actually attended the nursing fair at the clinic a few saturdays ago (where you there?). I am actually going to shadow and interview in December, I am very excited. Thanks again for the info. To LeesiBug, I have heard the some nurses are very unhappy at the clinic and I have also talked to nurses that have worked there for years and love it. I think anywhere you go there is going to be pros and cons and I do know of serveral other hospitals that I have had clinicals at that track their nurses with "homing" devices. I believe your job is what you make of it and the grass is not always greener, you have to take the good with the bad and the clinic is rated one of the best hospitals in the world for patient care and that's really what it is all about..... Thank you both for your replies...they were very helpful.

Thanks for replying! I know the clinic very well....my daughter has been going to a doctor there for the past nine years. Great medical care, however I have heard that they are terrible to their nurses. I am going to apply there because I try not to listen to all the hearsay.

I will be graduating in May of 2006 (8 months) and I really want to work in the OR. If anyone is an OR nurse in the Cleveland, Ohio area I would appreciate some advice! Like, do they hire new grads in the OR? Where's the best place to work? How do I improve my chances of getting in the OR? Any input would be great! Thanks!

Hello! I live in the Lorain/Amherst area and I am in the RN program at LCCC. Will be done in May! Good luck to you!
