I.m a scholarship recipient for Memorial Healthcare system and right now they dont even have any positions to place us in. They are not hiring New grad RNs who are not scholarship recipients, and the positions they do have open are for experienced RNs only. But to answer your question, my friend who was fortunate enough to get the ONE positon they did have open was started at $23/hr at Memorial West. This occured last week, so its pretty updated. Hope this helps.

They have 120 dayes (4 months) to place us. If they are unable to, then, they forfeit the contract and we do not have to repay them the scholarship money they gave us ($12k). So in the meantime, I am looking elsewhere. Memorial Miramar is part of the Memorial Healthcare system, so the same goes there. They are not hiring external new RNs, their priority is to place the scholarship new RNs first. I know this sux!

Hi Kristou,

Unfortunately they still do not have anything opened, but I have given up that battle since I was offered two positions within two other hospitals!!!!! I have accepted one of the offers and my base is about $25, and since I will be working nights, I will earn an extra $3.50 on my base. Also, the friend of mine, who i mentioned in my earlier post who was given the position at Memorial West as a scholarship was told by the charge nurse that her starting pay would be $23, but when she went down to HR to complete her paperwork, she was told that it will actually be $22!!!! And since she will be working days, her only opportunity to make extra will be from 3p-7p when she receives the evening differential of $2. So i guees i lucked-up. Either way, we are both thankful we found a job! Thanks for asking :)
