Stony Lodge?

I worked there about 10 years ago and wasn't thrilled with it then. It was poorly staffed and the staff they had were not well qualified. And the place was run down but I would hope that things have changed after 10 years!! A friend of mine just had an interview there last week and I believe they offered her 30.00/hr as a new grad. Good Luck!!

Thanks for the information. Are there any other facilities in the area that you would/would not recommend? Just wondering, did your friend accept the position at Stony Lodge?

Hi Cmmny

Just wondering - did your friend accept the position. If so, is she liking it so far? Thinking of applying but since I'm new to Psych would like to get some feedback about this facility first. Hoping that things have gotten better since you've been there. How long did you stay?

Thanks!

My friend did not take the position due to commuting issues. I would hope that things are different there now also, for the better! It doesn't hurt to apply and go an interview...ask lots of questions and ask them to take you on a tour. If you like psych you will get some experience and then you can always move on. I didn't stay there long..about 3 months. Good Luck!!

Thanks for the reply. Do you know if Four Winds is a better facility? Are you currently working in psych? If you have heard any positive feedback about local facilities, I'd love to hear from you. I'm new to psych so I don't want to be turned off to the field by choosing the wrong place to start.

i have an interview with stone lodge today .i will get the information to you. i already have a job offer but i would like to know if they have 12hrs shift and tuition reimbursement.

i just got back from my interview .They pay day shift $28hr eve $30 and night $32.One nurse to 13 patients .They pay for tuition after a year of service and it is only $950 per semester.They give you 5weeks orientation.

Thanks for the information. Let me know if you accept a position there. I'd be curious to hear how things go for you.

Is 13 patients a lot, or normal fare for those in the Psych world?
