Tulane, West Jefferson, East Jefferson...Good places to work???

dsoginer · Apr 21, 2008

There have been several posts in the last few months with new grads asking the same questions as you. Take a look at some of the posts for information. I have a list of salaries for several of the hospitals in the area that we collected last month. If you will send me a private message I will send you a copy of that list. Give me a few days since I am in my last two weeks of school and am, as you know, very busy.

No fair keeping secrets, I was looking into working at Tulane in New Orleans. I have an interview coming up and will probably relocate there. Any tips/suggestions?

Hey, wish I could help, but I'm probably just as lost as you are. I accepted a job from one of those hospitals. I am walking into it completely blind. I've never even been to Louisiana.

I've been to new orleans twice before and loved it. Thats why I want to work down there. I'm actually going for an interview @ Tulane at the end of the month and was hoping for some advice but no one seems to have any. I wish you lots of luck where ever you end up.

Just curious,,as to what is attracting you guys to come to Louisiana? I mean I've been living here for many, many years, but always wondered about other places. I noticed one of you is from New York? Figured it would be great there...

Most of the hospitals pay around the same, $23.00 hr. Rent is outrageous right now because of the hurricane. I happen to know of a really nice place 3-4 bdrms uptown for somewhere around $16-1700 a month. Private message if you need info. Also look at Craig's list on the internet for information. I swear you can find out anything about a city from studying that website.

Good luck

I lived in NY all my life. The RN salaries are great here, I make about 68K a year. I will be getting almost 20K less by moving to LA but supposedly the cost of living is less there. I just want a change and really liked the New Orleans area.
