Hi all. I got my questionnaire yesterday. I'm trying to calculate all my expenses (including student loan payments - yikes!) and LA living expenses to determine how to make this work if i am offered a position...does anyone know what the wages are at White Memorial for new grads?

From what I've been reading, it sounds like this was the 3rd group to get the questionnaire.

I can't find anywhere where other received questionnaires after the first group. Timing wise we should be the 3rd group. So who knows.

I am unsure about Whites but know another local Adventist hospital pay is 30.00 an hour. Which is a couple of dollars lower then most local area hospital new Grad RN's.

They have a pay differential for nights at White, but not for weekends if that puts anything into perspective for you. Good luck!

Starting pay for New Grad program at White is $25/hour. After 8 weeks or so there is a $4/ hour raise. I was also told that once you've been working there for 2 years you get another raise. I was told this by a friend who is currently in the new grad program:) For anyone concerned about the pay and trying to keep up with living expenses in the area, my friend lives alone in south Pasadena and is able to make it work. So it can be done:)

Specializes in Medical Surgical, PHN.

Thanks RNurse7 for the detail. Do you know if there are differential rate for high acuity, nights or weekends?

Some hospitals offer 10% more for high acuity like ICU and weekends. Nights are a given, but wonder how much is it.

$25 is kinda low for CA in LA. :( but us new grads cant be picky.
