Sacramento Area Nurses

Published

Hello guys,

I've been doing some research in the Sacramento area and its sorroundings for possibly relocating to the area. I have been an ER nurse for 3 years (currently traveling for 1 year). I wanted to get an idea of which hospitals are good to work for and what is the salary like hourly. Do hospitals in the area pay time and a half after 8 hours? Which ones hire for 8 hours only?

Thank you

Sxmp. UC Davis gets the most interesting trauma patients. They also have the slowest movement for patients. It wasn't uncommon for me to have the same icu patient for several days in a row in the ER and discharge or downgrade them before they went upstairs. I don't have any additional insight into the icu departments.

Clockwork 2112 Mercy San Juan is an ER that needs to be about 4x bigger and the one time I did a micn ride along and walked through there I just thought how glad I was I didn't work there.

I know they pay significantly less then the area hospitals. I had a friend try to recruit me but I've been kaiserized and the golden handcuffs have trapped me.

Hello Nicki,

I am trying to move to Sacramento area after a year,I have 4years of nursing experience which consist of 15months recent cardiac tele exp. My first target is to enter Kaiser. Do you have any recommendation for any speciality which wil stand out my resume at Kaiser? It seems like L&D and Neonatal care have more open position than others.

Thank you
