Just wondering if anyone currently works or has worked at St. Johns Mercy Medical Center. I am new to the area and wondering how it is to work there. What are the working conditions/ambiance of the staff? I heard it is the only unionized hospital in the area. Is that a good thing? How's the pay, etc... Any info would be much appreciated.

I actually just accepted a position with St. John's and they just raised their base pay for RNs to $18.75/hr. They also pay 0.50 more if you have your BSN and I think they might be the only ones in St. Louis. They have really good benefits and great tuition reimbursement and loan repayment as well. I'd recommend it to anyone, the staff is great too! Also, I think the decision was just passed to have no union but I'm not positive.

Great information! Can you give me an idea of what the night/weekend differential is? I was a patient there for 4 weeks and can see myself working there some day. Seemed like a good place to be. Thanks again.

Yes they did de-certify the union. According to the story in the St Louis Post Dispatch from the time the union was started, until the last election(several weeks ago)they had lost over 50% of the original nursing staff. I'll try to find a link to the article and post it!

I'd love to see that....if I find 2 minutes while getting ready for classes to start tomorrow, I'll see if I can find it, too....I must have missed the "paper" that day?

I used to work at St. John's and as soon as I move back to Saint Louis I will defiantly be applying there. I enjoyed the job and my co-workers. I enjoyed my job its the greatest.
